Most of people in America are unable to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). Sense of trait is governed by dominant allele while recessive condition leads to tasteless. Albinism is also a single locus trait with normal pigment being dominant and the lack of pigment being recessive. A normally pigmented woman who cannot taste PTC has a father who is an albino taster. She marries a homozygous, normally pigmented man who is a taster but who has a mother that does not taste PTC. What are the genotypes of the possible children?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
