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 Posted / 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.

Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three traits was allowed to self- fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to show all three dominant phenotypes?
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.

In sesame, the one-pod condition (P) is dominant to the three-pod condition (p), and normal leaf (L) is dominant over wrinkled leaf (l). The two characters are inherited independently. Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the two plants which produce the following progeny: 318 one- pod normal, 98 one-pod wrinkled, 323 three-pod normal and 104 three-pod wrinkled.
