In humans the allele for albinism is recessive to the allele for normal skin
pigmentation. If two heterozygous parents have children, what is the chance that a
child will have normal skin pigment? What is the chance that a child will have
albinism?
50% chance normal pigment
50% chance albino
75% chance albino
25% chance normal pigment
100% chance normal pigment
0% chance albino
75% chance normal pigment
25% chance albino
Homozygous red radishes (RR) crossed with homozygous white radishes (WW) make pink radishes (RW). This is called incomplete dominance. What are the phenotypic ratios when you cross pink radish with a white radish?

50% white
100% pink
50% red
50% pink
100% red

Colorblindness is a recessive trait carried on the X chromosome (is sex-linked).

The genetic disorder phenylketonuria, or PKU, is autosomal recessive. Fortunately, if treatment begins early, a person can live their lives with little impact from the disease. If one parent has PKU and the other parent is homozygous normal, what is the probability their children could get PKU?
