Explanation:Heterozygous refers to when you inherited a particular form of gene from each parent. Heterozygous occurs when two allele of a specific gene locus are different. Heterozygous

Answer: Mary's parents' genotype are Aa and AA.

Explanation: Suppose the recessive blood disorder has a genotype of aa.

Mary's husband's genotype, as he has the trait, is aa. Both of their children also have it, so they are aa as well. To have a child with this genotype, Mary must have been a carrier, so her genotype is Aa.

Now, for Mary to be a carrier and since none of her siblings has the disorder,  one of her parents must be heterozygous for the trait (Aa), while the other is homozygous for the trait (Aa).

In other words, Mary's parents' genotypes are Aa and AA.

Why would it be important to know the possible genotypic and phenotypic ratios of different genetic crosses?
OleMash [197]
It’s important to know the possible genotypic and phenotypic ratios of different genetic crosses because the the phenotype shows what the offspring will physically look like what the genotype is what genes the offspring carries. phenotype doesn’t always show what alleles the offspring carries because if the offspring is heterozygous for the gene only the dominant allele shows and the recessive allele won’t be visible. the genotype can see what alleles the offspring carries, both dominant and recessive. knowing the genotype helps to know what alleles are passed on. if one of the parents have a genetic mutation that is passed on, the phenotype helps see what ration of offsprings will have the mutation visible and the genotype will help see what ratio of offsprings will pass on the allele for the mutation
