Answer / margaret
If the dominant normal gene is A, and the recessive albino
gene is a, then the man's genotype is
Aa

Answer / prussian embassy
To correctly answer the question, the normally pigmented
man would be "Aa": A for his dominant trait of normal
pigmentation, and "a" for the gene of albinism.
Reasons supporting this answer are this; for a recessive
trait to show itself by any means, it would need to be the
only factors in the gene. Together, they look something
like this.
A x
,-------
a |Aa |ax |
|___|___|
|Aa |ax |
a |___|___|
The genotype of the children are Aa, Aa, and aa.
For there to be a posibility of having a child albino, the
normally pigmented man must have the ressesive gene.
Therefore turning the chart above into this.
A a
,-------
a |Aa |aa |
|___|___|
|Aa |aa |
a |___|___|
In the end, it proves that the normally pigmented man's
genotype is "Aa": A for his dominant trait of normal
pigmentation, and "a" for the gene of albinism.

Answer / taofeeq
The genotype of the man is Aa (He is a carrier of the gene
for albinism(a). The Child can only express the trait when
he/she inherits the albinism gene(a). The child genotype
will then ber aa.

People who can roll their tongues contain a dominant allele for tongue rolling. If people do not contain the tongue rolling gene, then they cannot roll their tongue no matter how hard they try. Consider the following situation: If a homozygous dominant tongue roller mates with a homozygous recessive non-tongue roller, then what is the probability of the offspring inheriting the tongue rolling gene?

In cucumbers normal leaves (N) are dominant to curled leaves (n) and elongated fruit (L) is dominant to spherical fruit and these genes are linked on the same chromosome. If a pure-breeding normal-leaved, elongated fruit cucumber is crossed with a curled-leaved, spherical fruit cucumber, what will be the phenotype of the F1? the phenotypic ratio of the F2?

In hogs a gene that produces a white belt around the animal's body is dominant over its allele for a uniform body. Another independent dominant gene produces fusion of the hoof (syndactyly). Suppose a uniformly colored hog homozygous for syndactyly is mated with a normal footed hog homozygous for the belted character. What would be the phenotype of the F1? If the F1's interbreed, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
