If brown hair is dominant over blonde hair, cross a heterozygous brown haired father with a homozygous blonde mother. Summarize the genotype and phenotype of their 4 children.
If brown hair is dominant over blonde hair, cross a heterozygous brown haired father with a homozygous blonde?
"If brown hair is dominant over blonde hair, cross a heterozygous brown haired father with a homozygous blonde mother."
Heterozygous brown father = Bb
Homozygous blonde mother = bb
Bb x bb
__B___b
b_Bb_bb
b_Bb_bb
"Summarize the genotype and phenotype of their 4 children."
2 heterozygous brown, 2 homozygous blonde
If brown hair is dominant over blonde hair, cross a heterozygous brown haired father with a homozygous blonde?
There are only 2 possible progeny. If W= brown and b= blonde, then you have Bb x bb. The child could be Bb or bb. Thus, there is a 50% chance of a brown haired child (Bb) and 50% chance of blonde haired child.
All this assumes that human haircolor follows mendelian genetics.
If brown hair is dominant over blonde hair, cross a heterozygous brown haired father with a homozygous blonde?
The genotype can mix as follows:
brown/blond, blond/blond.
brown/blond, blond/blond
The phenotype will be 50% chance of brown-haired children, 50% chance of blond-haired children.
If brown hair is dominant over blonde hair, cross a heterozygous brown haired father with a homozygous blonde?
B=brown, b=Blondie
Bbxbb= Bb, bb, bb, Bb
the genotypic ratio would be 1:1 (1 Bb to each bb)
the phenotypic ratio would also be 1:1 (1 brunette to each Blondie)
If brown hair is dominant over blonde hair, cross a heterozygous brown haired father with a homozygous blonde?
If the allele for brown hair is "B" and that of blonde is "b", then the ratios will be:
25% of their children will be heterozygous brown haired and 75% of their children will be homozygous blonde, hence the ratios are 3:1.
