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?
