Almond-shaped (E) eyes is dominant over round eyes. Presence of freckles (F) is also a dominant trait. Medium-sized nose, however, may be inherited if one parent has a large (L) nose and the other has a small (S) nose. Achondroplasia (A) is an autosomal dominant disorder
Almond-shaped (E) eyes is dominant over round eyes. Presence of freckles (F) is also a dominant trait. Medium-sized nose, however, may be inherited if one parent has a large (L) nose and the other has a small (S) nose. Achondroplasia (A) is an autosomal dominant disorder that leads to dwarfism but not lethal.
A woman homozygous for normal height, with freckles, almond-shaped eyes, small nose, and Type A blood, has a Type O mother with no freckles and a type AB father with round eyes. She is engaged to a man with achondroplasia, round eyes and medium sized nose. Unlike his father, his mother is of normal height. Both his parents have Type O blood but nobody from both sides of his family has or had freckles.
-Write the COMPLETE genotypes of the man and the woman. Clearly indicate which genotype belongs to whom
Based on their genotypes, what is the probability that they will have:
-4 a daughter with round eyes, freckles, and medium sized nose?
-6 a daughter with same genotype as the woman?
-7 a son with same genotype as the man?
-5 a son with almond eyes, no freckles, and small nose?
