Eye Color is a trait that involves a number of genes. To simplify our example, we can break down the traitinto two phenotypes: dark color and light color eyes. Dark coloration is considered dominant, or isexpressed in a heterozygous condition (when the alleles are different).Q: If you have one light eyed parent and one parent that is homozygous for dark eye color, what are thepotential eye colors of their offspring (young)? To start, what do the Parents’ alleles look like? What istheir Genotype? (Remember, you pick which letter you want to use)Light eye colored parent:Dark eye colored parent:One of the things Mendel designed was a way to provide information about how the genes are passed onfrom parent to offspring. He designed something called a Punnett Square. This square places the parents’alleles outside the box, then uses those alleles to fill in the squares.Let’s start with a reminder of what we know about the parents: Parent Phenotype(appearance) Genotype(alleles) 1 2
Choose a trait from the list above and describe if you are dominant or recessive for that trait. Do the same for your parents, alternatively, if you have children you can do this with your and your partner's traits and your child(ren), or you can choose a set of parents and children that you know as examples for this exercise. In your response be sure to list how both parents and their child(ren) are expressing the trait, what the potential GENOTYPES are for each individual. What are the possibilities for the parental pair based on their possible genotypes (hint: Punnet Square).

Please explain how the more genes that contribute to a particular trait, the less discrete the categories become, and the more continuous it is, the distribution appears in a quantitative trait. Be sure that you include the following topics in your description: phenotypic categories, genotype, dominant and recessive, segregations of alleles, additive alleles.
Four pairs of monozygotic twins, who were separated immediately after birth, Were tested for their ability to solve geometry problems. The highest score obtained was 96 points, while the lowest was 6 points. If the scores between each twins were similar, and the scores obtained by different twins were more variable. How do you think about the trait of one's ability to solve geometry problems? O dejermined mostly by genetic factors O It is random not related to genetic or environmental factors O depends solely on the environment O it cannot be interpreted based on results of twins separated after birth
