Piebald spotting is a condition found in humans inwhich there are patches of skin that lack pigmentation. The condition results from the inability ofpigment-producing cells to migrate properly duringdevelopment.

Is the piebald spotting trait dominant or recessive?What information led you to this answer?b. What are the genotypes of the parents?
Albinism is a recessive autosomal trait for skin pigmentation. Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessivedisorder of the blood. assign alleles to the traitsA – normal skin pigmentation X H – normal blooda – albino X h - hemophilia A double heterozygous woman marries a non-hemophilic man and heterozygous for skinpigmentation.  Double heterozygous means heterozygous for both traits. Aa for skin pigmentation andX H X h for blood trait. Therefore, the genotype of the woman is AaX H X h .  Non-hemophilic man is X H Y and heterozygous for skin pigmentation is Aa. The genotype,therefore, of the man is AaX H Y.

At least two pairs of genes control eye color. Both pairs influence the production of the pigment, melanin, but act independently. One pair of alleles is B (Brown color; dominant) and b (blue color); the other pair is A (pigment production; dominant) and a (no pigment production; albino). The gene pair aais epistatic to (masks) B and b and produces the nonpigmented eyes of the albino. What is the typeof gene interaction that exists between the two gene pairs?
