Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The genotype of children in the given case.

Introduction:

The genotype of the parents can be used to determine the genotype of the offspring. Mendelian genetics can be used to predict the genotype. Given case has taken two traits into consideration thus there are two pair of genes involved. The alleles of the parental genes combine in various ways to create new allelic pairs.

A genotypic ratio of 2:4:2:2:4:2 is possible between a male who is heterozygous free earlobes and heterozygous freckles, and a female who is homozygous free earlobes and heterozygous. Free earlobes is a dominant trait. Key: E = free earlobes e = attached earlobes F = freckles f = no freckles ○ If the first statement is FALSE and the second statement is TRUE O If both statements are TRUE If the first statement is TRUE and the second statement is FALSE O If both statements are FALSE
A woman without red-green colorblindness and with a normal chin, whose mother was colorblind, marries a cleft-chinned, non-colorblind man whose mother had a normal chin. Recall that red-green colorblindness is sex-linked recessive, but mid-chin fissure (cleft) is autosomal dominant. What are the expected phenotypic ratios of the children? Show your work.
Use the Punnett square to find the genotype of the missing parent. Having freckles is dominant (F) and having no freckles is recessive (). Curly hair is recessive (c) and straight hair is dominant (C). A man with curly hair marries a woman who is homozygous dominant for straight hair. Complete the Punnett square. What is the probability they will have a child with curly hair? Straight hair? FF Ff f Ff ff % curly % straight
