The diagrams represent two human somatic cells, one from a female and one from a male, and the letters in the cells represent alleles for two different traits. Male Female B = Brown hair (dominant) b = Blond hair (recessive) E = Brown eyes (dominant) e = Blue eyes (recessive) According to Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment, what are the allele combinations expected in each of the sperm cells and what combinations are expected in each of the eggs produced by these cells during meiosis? One sperm fertilized one egg, and the resulting child has blond hair and brown eyes. How is this possible given the parents' genotypes?
