Part I:1. What is the name of the protein that the "eye color gene" encodes?2. How is the protein in question #1 different in people with blue eyes versus people withbrown eyes?3. Is the blue eye allele or the brown eye allele dominant?4. Is the blue eye allele or the brown eye allele recessive?5. If Evan has blue eyes, what genotype (which two alleles) is he likely to have?6. If Alexia has blue eyes, what genotype (which two alleles) is she likely to have?7. Draw a Punnett square showing the genotype of all the possible children this couplecould have. Based solely on this information, what is the likelihood that Ryan is theirchild?8. Assuming that Alexia has been unfaithful, what is (are) the possible genotype(s) of theman who is Ryan's biological father?9. Assuming that Alexia has been faithful, suggest as many hypotheses as you can toexplain Ryan's phenotype. Part 1 - High School BluesEvan and Alexia had been happily married for seven years and had a delightful five-year-old son named Ryan. Oneday, while going through his old high school biology textbook, Evan stumbled on some troubling information. In thesection on the genetics of eye color, he read that two blue-eyed parents cannot produce a brown-eyed child. This wasdisturbing to him because both he and Alexia had blue eyes, but Ryan had brown eyes.He and Alexia were very much in love and Evan didn't believe his wife had been unfaithful. Puzzled, he questioned hiswife, who confirmed she had been faithful to him. Evan had known Alexia long enough to recognize when she waslying and detected nothing but honesty in her response.What is going on?
