**Educational Resource: Genetic Problems – Cases of Complete Dominance**### Exercise #4: "Genetic Problems"#### Cases of Complete Dominance1. **Gregor Mendel's Pea Plant Experiment:** - **Scenario:** Mendel crossed yellow-seeded pea plants with green-seeded pea plants and consistently obtained yellow seeds. - **Questions:** - a. Identify the dominant allele. - b. Determine the genotype of all green-seeded plants. - c. Illustrate Mendel's cross using a Punnett Square. - d. Compare the genotype of parent yellow-seeded plants and offspring. - e. Discuss a genetic fact about yellow-seeded pea plants. - f. Explain why green pea seeds are more common if yellow-seeded plants are dominant.2. **Human Eye Color Genetics:** - **Scenario:** A dark-eyed man and a light-eyed woman have ten dark-eyed children. - **Questions:** - a. Identify the dominant allele. - b. Determine the genotype of all light-eyed individuals. - c. Describe the genotypes of the parents. - d. Define the genotype difference between the dark-eyed parent and offspring. - e. Calculate the phenotype ratio of dark-eyed to light-eyed offspring from heterozygous dark-eyed parents using a Punnett Square.### Diagrams:- **Punnett Squares:** - **Description:** Two blank 2x2 Punnett Squares intended for illustrating genetic crosses, labeled for parental and offspring genetic outcomes. ### Special Note on Eye Color:- **Overview:** Eye color results from multiple alleles and possibly more than one gene pair. - **Phenotypes:** Determined by genes regulating the amount and distribution of melanin, a pigment. - **Genetic Basis:** Most people have some pigmentation; albinism is an exception. - **Melanin's Role:** Eye color largely depends on melanin's location in the iris. Brown eyes result from concentrated melanin, while yellow or yellow-brown eyes have dilute melanin particles.### Eye Illustration:- A drawing of an eye accompanies the note, emphasizing the relationship between melanin and eye color.This resource serves as a foundational exercise in understanding simple genetic dominance and how traits, such as seed color and eye color, are inherited.
