What is the probability they will have a child with curly hair? Straight hair? FF Ff f Ff ff % curly % straight

Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. If Allison is heterozygous (a carrier), and her husband, Michael, is NOT colorblind. What is the chance that their female children will be colorblind?

Incomplete dominance is characterized by a cross between homozygous dominant and recessive genes that will result in an intermediate trait assume the following sets of genes is a human being: BB – black-colored pupil HH – straight hair Bb – blue-colored pupil Hh – wavy hair hh – curly hair A husband and wife, BBHH x bbHh, want to know the probability of having a child with a blue-colored pupil and wavy hair. What will you tell them? O There is a ¼ chance that the offspring will have blue-colored pupils and wavy hair. O There is a ½ chance that the offspring will have blue-colored pupils and wavy hair. O There is no chance that the offspring will have blue-colored pupils and wavy hair. O Impossible to determine.
