In humans, cystic fibrosis is a recessive genetic disorder that results in mucus clogging the lungs. If both parents are genetically heterozygous for cystic fibrosis, then what are their chances of having a child who DOES NOT HAVE the disease?  (Hint: draw a Punnett Square on a piece of scratch paper to help you answer the question.)

In humans, the trait for dimples is dominant over no dimples. If a heterozygous parent is crossed with a homozygous recessive parent, then what is the probability this couple will have offspring with dimples?  (Hint: draw a Punnett Square on a piece of scratch paper to help you answer the question.)

In a classic Mendelian cross, a homozygous plant that produces purple fruit is crossed with a homozygous plant that produces blue fruit. The seeds of all the offspring are purple. Why?  (Hint: draw a Punnett Square on a piece of scratch paper to help you answer the question.)

• the alleles are expressing incomplete dominance

• the alleles are expressing codominance

• The blue allele is recessive to the dominant purple allele

Albinism (b), is recessive to normal brown coloration (B). When an albino female was crossed with a brown male, they produced 2 offspring that had brown coloring and 2 that were albino. What was the genotype of the male parent?
