Question

a) A woman has a rare abnormality of the eyes called ptosis, which makes it impossible for her to open her eyes completely. The condition has been found to be caused by a single dominant autosomal gene (P). Her father has ptosis, but not her mother. Her father's mother had normal eyelids. 

 What are the genotypes of the woman, her father, and her mother?  If this woman marries a man who is a normal individual for this eyelid condition what will be the phenotypic and genotypic ratio of their offspring?  

 

b) Draw a small pedigree, noting sex of each individual as well as whether or not they are affected with ptosis.
