Hair texture in humans is incompletely dominant. Curly hair (C) plus straight hair (c) gives you wavy hair. Also, having 2 eyebrows is dominant over one eyebrow. If two individuals are heterozygous for both traits, what is the probability of each phenotype in their future offspring?
alleles are C-curly hair, c- straight hair, T-two eye brows, t- one eye brow.
CcTt * CcTt
CT | Ct | cT | ct | |
CT | CCTT (curly hair, two eyebrows) | CCTt(curly hair, two eyebrows) | CcTT( wavy hair, two eyebrows) | CcTt( wavy hair, two eyebrows) |
Ct | CCTt(curly hair, two eyebrows) | CCtt ( curly hair, one eyebrow) | CcTt( wavy hair, two eyebrows) | Cctt ( wavy hair, one eyebrow) |
cT | CcTT ( wavy hair, two eyebrows) | CcTt( wavy hair, two eyebrows) | ccTT ( straight hair,2 eyebrows) | ccTt( straight hair,2 eyebrows) |
ct | CcTt( wavy hair, two eyebrows) | Cctt ( wavy hair, one eyebrow) | ccTt( straight hair,2 eyebrows) | cctt ( straight hair, one eyebrow) |
possible phenotypes in the progeny are given in the punnet square.
probability of getting curly hair, two eyebrows= number of curly hair, two eyebrows/total number=3/16
probability of getting wavy hair, two eyebrows = number of wavy hair, two eyebrows/total number=6/16
probability of getting curly hair, one eyebrow = number of curly hair, one eyebrow/total number=1/16
probability of getting wavy hair, one eyebrow = number of wavy hair, one eyebrow/total number=2/16
probability of getting straight hair,2 eyebrows= number of straight hair,2 eyebrows/total number=3/16
probbaility of getting straight hair, one eyebrow= number of straight hair, one eyebrow/total number=1/16

Is your hair curly, straight, or wavy? In humans, straight hair (Hs) and curly hair (Hc) are inherited as incompletely-dominant traits. This means that heterozygotes (HsHc) will have wavy hair. If two people with wavy hair have children, what proportion of their offspring would be expected to have wavy hair? 100% 75% 50% 25% 0% Straight genotype ____ Wavy genotype _____ Curly genotype ______

BIO 142 Test X 9) Curly hair (CC) is incompletely dominant over straight hair (ce), therefore the heterozygous genotype (Ce) produces wavy hair (Ce), Set up the Punnet square and cross a mother with wavy hair with a man with wavy hair. (5 points) What is the percentage of different phenotypes of their children? Show your works. Female Genotype: Genotype ratio Phenotype ratio: Male Genotype: 10) Cross a father with blood type AO and a mother with BO blood type....
Genetics and Heredity Practice Problems A. Mendelian Genetics 1. In humans, achondroplasia or "dwarfism (D) is dominant over normal (d). A homorygous dominant (DD) person dies before the age of one. A heterozygous (d) person is dwarfed. A homozygous recessive individual is normal. If a heterozygous dwarf man marries a dwarf heterozyrous woman a. What is the probability of having a normal child? b. What is the probability of having a child that is a dwarf? What is the probability...

QUESTION 1 Both of Molly’s parents have curly hair but Molly has straight hair, explain how you could use a Punnett square to illustrate how this is possible. Lali Estimate the phenotypes of potential offspring: 75% having brown fur and 25% of the offspring having white fur. Exercise 1: Understanding Alleles The chart below identifies the relationship between genotype and phenotype. You will use this chart to determine the characteristics of a puppy. Note: for simplicity all of the traits...
