A man and woman are both of normal pigmentation and have one child out of three who is albino (without melanin pigmentation). What are the genotypes of the albino's parents? Both parents must be homozygous dominant. Both parents must be heterozygous. One parent must be homozygous dominant; the other parent must be heterozygous. One parent must be heterozygous; the other parent can be homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or heterozygous. One parent must be homozygous for the recessive allele; the other parent can be homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or heterozygous.

- Which of the following defines polygenic inheritance? An inheritance pattern in which one allele is not fully dominant over another, so the heterozygous phenotype is an intermediate blend of the two homozygous phenotypes An inheritance pattern in which the full and separate phenotypic effects of two alleles are apparent in heterozygous individuals An inheritance pattern in which a single gene affects multiple traits A pattern of inheritance in which multiple genes affect one traitarrow_forwardImagine you have a blood group of "X" which is recessive and expressed by xx. The dominant blood groups are Y and Z, where homozygous of these alleles are expressed as YY and ZZ, respectively. What will be the genotype of your parents blood group? Why?
