Normal blood clotting is dominant (N) and hemophilia C is recessive (n).A man with normal phenotype and a woman with hemophilia C have 8 children. All 8 children are phenotypically normal. What are the most likely genotypes of the parents?
Woman: nn; Man: NN
Woman: nn; Man: Nn

Normal hearing is dominant (H) and a mutation that leads to congenital deafness is recessive (h). A man and a woman are both of normal hearing, but they have a child who is deaf. If the man and the woman have more children, what proportion of their offspring are expected to have normal hearing, and what proportion of their offspring are expected to be deaf?
75% hearing; 25% deaf
25% hearing; 75% deaf
50% hearing; 50% deaf
Normal hearing is dominant (H) and a mutation that leads to congenital deafness is recessive (h). A man and a woman are both of normal hearing, but they have a child who is deaf. If the man and the woman have more children, what proportion of offspring will have a heterozygous genotype?

Normal blood clotting is dominant (N) and hemophilia C is recessive (n); normal hearing is dominant (H) and an allele that causes deafness is recessive (h); blood type B is dominant (B) and blood type O is recessive (O). A man is homozygous dominant for normal blood clotting, heterozygous for hearing, and heterozygous for blood type B; a woman is heterozygous for blood clotting, homozygous recessive for hearing, and heterozygous for blood type B.
What proportion of their offspring are expected to have normal blood clotting, normal hearing and blood type B?

Normal blood clotting is dominant (N) and hemophilia C is recessive (n); normal hearing is dominant (H) and an allele that causes deafness is recessive (h); blood type B is dominant (B) and blood type O is recessive (O). A man is homozygous dominant for normal blood clotting, heterozygous for hearing, and heterozygous for blood type B; a woman is heterozygous for blood clotting, homozygous recessive for hearing, and heterozygous for blood type B.
