b)

HH, hh

c)

HH, Hh

d)

not enough information is given

11.

Two recessive parents have offspring. Can any of the offspring express the dominant trait?

a)

No, because the parents don't have a dominant allele

b)

Yes, dominant alleles can be passed down regardless of parent genotypes

c)

No, two recessive parents cannot produce viable offspring

d)

Yes, dominant traits are stronger than recessive so they will show up in the offspring

24.

A woman who is not colorblind would have which genotype?

XR XR

b)

XR Y

c)

XR Xr

d)

Xr Xr

25.

Cross a woman who is a carrier with a man who is not colorblind. Is is possible to have a daughter who is colorblind?

a)

Yes, since one is a carrier and will express the disorder XB Xb.

b)

No, because one is XbY and expresses the disorder.

c)

No, because both girls have at least one XB and this disorder must have two recessive alleles to show up.

d)

Yes, one daughter has the possibility of being color blind because she has two small alleles Xb Xb.
