In humans, brown (B) eye color is dominant to blue (b) eye color and brown (H) hair color is dominant to red (h) hair color. [Assume single-gene traits]
Question:
Two individuals, who are both heterozygous for eye and hair color, mate. Which of the following is a correct statement about the phenotype ratios expected for their offspring if the genes are unlinked?
A) 9/16 will have brown eyes and red hair
B) 9/16 will have blue eyes and red hair
C) 3/16 will have blue eyes and brown hair
D) 3/16 will have blue eyes and red hair
E) 1/16 will have brown eyes and brown hair
Group of answer choices
so C option will be the answer.

In humans, brown (B) eye color is dominant to blue (b) eye color and brown (H) hair color is dominant to red (h) hair color. [Assume single-gene traits] Of only the offspring that have brown eyes and brown hair (B_H_, where dash indicates that the individual could be either homozygous or heterozygous for the dominant allele), what proportion are expected to have a genotype that is heterozygous for one of the traits but homozygous for the other trait? A) 1/4...
Uption 4. The inheritance of hair and eye color is very complicated. Scientists have found approximately 10-20 genes responsible for determining hair and eye color in humans (sheesh - I thought a dihybrid cross with 2 genes was bad...). Although many genes are involved in producing these phenotypes, it does seem that just a few genes play a major role in determining the color of our hair and eyes. The following is a simplified, but still somewhat realistic view of...

In wolves, gray coat color (G) is dominant to black (g) and brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue (b). The genes that control these traits are located on different chromosomes. The alpha male of the pack has the dominant phenotype for both traits and is heterozygous for both traits. The alpha female has brown eyes and a black coat; she is heterozygous for eye color. Which option represents gametes that would be made by the alpha female? B. b,...
