Solutions to sample midterm mendelian problems
1) Because the father
has a,
all of his daughters
must inherit it. Because the mother is heterozygous, only half her sons will
inherited a.
2) Because B is
recessive to both the other alleles, only a BB
genotype will be Brown
3) A cross between two
heterozygotes yields three genotypes (AA, Aa,
& aa)
at each locus. Two such loci would yield 32 = 9 genotypic combination, and so on.
