a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The phenotypes of DD, Dd, and dd individuals in a genetic disorder caused by a dominant allele.

Introduction: Genes have alternate forms known as alleles which are transmitted to offspring. If the two alleles are different then there is a hybrid at F1 generation. The dominant allele out of the two alleles expresses itself and determines the phenotype. The condition caused due to dominant allele will show its effect in the homozygous dominant and heterozygous state.

b.

Summary Introduction

To predict: The outcome of genetic cross between two Dd individuals and list the genotype and phenotype ratios.

Introduction: During gamete formation, each pair of alleles of one gene segregates into gametes independently of the pair of alleles of other gene. This is based on law of independent assortment of genes. These two genes separate and enter two different gametes independent of the other. After the genetic cross, the allele combinations are predicted which determine the possible genotypes of the offspring.
