In human beings, brown eyes are usually dominant over blue
eyes. Suppose a blue-eyed man marries a brown-eyed woman
whose father was blue-eyed. What proportion of their
children would you predict to have blue eyes?
Answer / sujay
consider genes for brown eyed is BB-dominant and gene for
blue eyed is bb-recessive
If woman is homozygous that is BB & marries with blue eyed
man then proportion of blue eyed children are like this:
man(BLUE) x woman(BROWN)
bb BB
b b B B
Bb Bb Bb Bb no blue eyed children and 0% of
offsprings are blue eyed.
If woman is heterozygous Bb and marries with blue eyed man
then proportion of blue eyed children are like this:
man(BLUE) x woman(BROWN)
bb Bb
b b B b
Bb bb Bb bb
here two children are blue eyed that 50% of the offspring
will be having blue eyes and 50% of children are brown eyed.

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?

Cystic fibrosis (CF) occurs with a frequency of about 1/2500 Caucasian newborns and is inherited as an autosomal recessive. A woman had an older sister die from complications of this disease. CF is not present among relatives of her husband. Both the woman and her husband have normal phenotypes. What is the chance this couple will have a CF child
