Please draw one possible genotype for offspring of these parents including two chromosomes with 3 alleles each.arrow_forward
- True or falsearrow_forwardThis question is about a medical condition that is inherited as an autosomal dominant allele. In this condition the dominant allele is lethal when homozygous. Recall that autosomal genes are found on non-sex chromosomes. Two parents who are thinking of having another child are trying to determine the likelihood of passing on this allele to their children. They consult you to find the answers to their questions. One of them has the condition and one does not. Their first child is unaffected. What is the probability that their second child is unaffected? Express your answer as a decimal to 2 decimal points, e.g. 0.81. If your answer is a whole number, e.g. 3, then leave it as 3.arrow_forwardA type AB mother and type AB father will have offspring of what possible phenotypes? ___________arrow_forward
