Question
What's the ratio of the genotypes? (TT:Tt: tt) What's the ratio of the phenotypes? (can roll: cannot roll) what's the probability of offspring that can and cannot roll their tongue?
Tongue rolling is an inherited trait. The ability to roll your tongue is dominant (T) over not being able to roll
your tongue (1). Dad is heterozygous for tongue rolling and mom is homozygous dominant for tongue
rolling.

Step 1

Given:

Tongue rolling is an i herited trait.Alfred Sturtevant noted that about 70% european ancestry people are able to roll their tongue. Tongue rolling ability may be due to a single gene with the ability to roll the tongue a dominant trait and the lack of tongue rolling ability a recessive trait.
