In humans, polydactyly (an extra finger on each hand or toe on each foot) is due to a dominant gene. When

Answer: The genotype ratio of their children is 2Ff : 2 ff
The phenotype ratio is 2 polydactyl individuals : 2 normal individuals.
Explanation: Let F represent the gene for extra finger while f represent the gene for normal finger. From the information provided, F is dominant while f is recessive. A heterozygous parent will have a genotype of Ff while a normal parent will have a genotype of ff. A cross between them will produce 2 Ff and 2 ff. Ff will manifest phenotypically as polydactyl because F is a dominant allele while ff will manifest phenotypically as normal fingers because f is recessive. For a recessive allele to express itself outwardly, it must occur in a homozygous state. Ff is heterozygous polydactyl.

Population decreases by 15.
Birth rate means more population (positive), death rate means less population (negative), immigration means more (positive), and emigration means less (negative). So, just add and subtract the appropriate numbers:
Negative 15 people means that the population decreases by 15.
