8. Another type of non-mendelian trait: Multiple alleles. Human hair color is controlled by one gene with four alleles (with some incomplete dominance): H* = brown Hd = blonde h* = red hk = black The possible genotypes and phenotypes: H#H®d or H®«h®k = blonde H®dh* = strawberry blonde H"h* = auburn HdHBr = mousy brown H"H or Hr hbk = brown h*h®* = black h*h* or h*h* = red If someone with auburn hair has children with someone with red hair (but whose mother had black hair), what are the genotype and phenotype probabilities for their children?

8. Another type of non-mendelian trait: Multiple alleles. Human hair color is controlled by one gene
with four alleles (with some incomplete dominance):
Hr = brown Hd = blonde h* = red hok = black
The possible genotypes and phenotypes:
HBdHBd or HBdhbk = blonde
H®¢h* = strawberry blonde
H®h* = auburn
HBdHBr = mousy brown
HB'HBr or HBr hbk = brown
h*h* = black
h*h* or h*h* = red
If someone with auburn hair has children with someone with red hair (but whose mother had black
hair), what are the genotype and phenotype probabilities for their children?
