4) According to the question, genotype of man is AaHhEe (As he is heterozygous for all 3 gene loci). Now, as female must be heterozygous for H & E loci & also, she had blond hair (Phenotype of hh) & blue eyes (Phenotype of ee), she must be 'aa' for A locus. Thus, genotype of female will be aaHhEe.
Cross AaHhEe x aaHhEe
Gametes AHE, AHe, AhE, Ahe, aHE, aHe, ahE & ahe (From AaHhEe); aHE, aHe, ahE & ahe (From aaHhEe)
The cross between them is shown in below Punnett square.
Gametes | aHE | aHe | ahE | ahe |

AHE | AaHHEE | AaHHEe | AaHhEE | AaHhEe |
AHe | AaHHEe | AaHHee (Dark brown hair, blue eye) | AaHhEe | AaHhee (Light brown hair, blue eye) |

As cross between last four gametes of first column (Shown by red color) will produce all 'aa' genotype & hence will be albino, they are ignored for brown hair & blue eye calculation. From the above Punnett square, we find that probability of a child with brown hair & blue eyes will be 3/32.

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...
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...
A tomato plant heterozygous for stem color and fasciation (the dominant alleles linked on the same chromosome) is pollinated by a plant heterozygous for stem color and homozygous recessive for fasciation (that is nonfasciated). 29. What alleles will the sperm carry?_ What alleles will the eggs carry? 30. What are the genotypes of the progeny? What are the phenotypes of the progeny? 31. If the dominant alleles for stem color and fasciation are commonly located on the same chromosome, how...
Suppose chromosome Ace includes the gene for hair texture, chromosome 2 has a gene for eye color, and chromosome 3 has a gene for nose width with the traits for each shown in the table. BLACK cards carry the dominant allele and RED cards carry recessive allele. Character Traits Allele Hair texture Dominant-curly Recessive-straight H h Eye color Dominant-brown Recessive-blue E e Nose width Dominant-wide Recessive-narrow N n Using the table above, rewrite SueBob’s genotype. Describe Baby SueBob’s phenotype. When...
What are alleles? Genes for different traits, such as hair color and eye color Alternative forms of a gene for a single trait, such as blue eyes or brown eyes The locations of genes on a chromosome Recessive forms of a kind of characteristic carried by genes Dominant forms of a kind of characteristic carried by genes In order to have the additional information provided by the location of the centromere in chromosomes, the process of karyotyping uses a chemical...
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...
Clicker question 5 You are studying two linked genes that influence hair type and eye color in mice. Straight hair (H) is dominant over curly (h), and brown eyes (E) are dominant over blue (e). You get the following numbers of offspring from a dihybrid testcross: Straight hair, blue eyes 101 Curly hair, brown eyes 104 Straight hair, brown eyes 15 Curly hair, blue eyes 17 Which of the following drawings shows the allele arrangement in the dihybrid? A. B....

1.My wife has black color eyes, the dominant trait. All of her family and relatives have dark eyes too. I have light color eyes (blue), the recessive trait. We are hoping for a blue-eyed baby. What is the probability we will have a baby with blue eyes? What is the probability we will have a baby with dark eyes? 2. In humans, tongue rolling is a dominant trait, those with the recessive condition cannot roll their tongues. Bob can roll...
