The only way to have blue eyes is:
Group of answer choices
to be homozygous recessive for blue eyes

to be homozygous dominant for eye color
Albinism is an autosomal (not sex-linked) recessive trait. 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?
One parent must be homozygous for the recessive allele; the other parent can be homozygous dominant, homozygous
recessive, or heterozygous.
Both parents must be homozygous dominant.
One parent must be heterozygous; the other parent can be homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or heterozygous.
Both parents must be heterozygous.
One parent must be homozygous dominant; the other parent must be heterozygous.

- Considering a common autosomal recessive trait: (Read each statement carefully. Select all of the statements below that are true (that you agree with). Leave any statements that are false (that you do not agree with) un- selected.) the unaffected biological siblings of an affected person should be heterozygotes. an unaffected woman and an affected man have at most a 100% probability of having a affected child. an affected person should have an affected parent. The unaffected offspring of an affected parent must be carriers.arrow_forwardMatch the word or phrase to a correct statement about it. recessive allele [Choose ] [Choose a cross between 4 parents an individual with 1 dominant allele and 1 recessive allele an individual with 2 recessive alleles a phenotype made of 2 dominant alleles only expressed in the phenotype if it's the only kind of allele present a letter written in uppercase dominant allele homozygous dominant a genotype made of 2 dominant alleles a cross looking at 2 separate genes dihybrid Choose | carrier an individual with 2 recessive 99+arrow_forwardAutosomal dominant traits cannot skip generations within a family tree.

- Attached earlobes is recessive while “Free” earlobes is dominant. Determine the phenotypes for both you and your partner. What genotypic and phenotypic ratios would you expect in your offspring?arrow_forwardPeople with recessive disorders are usually born to normal parents who are both heterozygotes which means that both parents are carriers of the dominant allele for the disorder but appear normal themselves.

- It means both dominant and recessive traits heterozygous homozygous genotype phenotypearrow_forwardHemophilia is a sex-linked trait. A person with hemophilia is lacking certain proteins that are necessary for normal blood clotting. Hemophilia is caused by a recessive allele so use "N" for normal and "n" for hemophilia. Since hemophilia is sex-linked, remember a woman will have two alleles (NN or Nn or nn) but a man will have only one allele (N or n). A woman who is heterozygous (a carrier) for hemophilia marries a normal man: a.What are the genotypes of the parents? b.What is the probability that a male offspring will have hemophilia? c. What is the probability of having a hemophiliac female offspring?arrow_forwardDoing genetic analysis it is determined that two parents are heterozygous for two separate unlinked recessive traits (i.e., both parents are heterozygous for both loci). Given this genetic information, what is the probability of their having a child which is homozygous recessive for both traits?arrow_forward
- Albinism (lack of skin pigmentation) is caused by an autosomal recessive allele. A man and woman, both normally pigmented, have an albino child together. For this trait, what is the genotype of both parents? Options Below: homozygous recessive homozygous dominant heterozygous hemizygous unknown, because not enough information is providedarrow_forwardIf two parents are heterozygous for an autosomal recessive disease, they are both considered genetic carriers for the disease. their children have no chance of inheriting the disease. their children have a 50 percent chance of inheriting the disease. all of their children will also be heterozygous.arrow_forwardOne form of red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait.
