In man, two abnormal conditions, cataracts (C) in the eyes and excessive fragility (F) in the bones, seem to depend on separate dominant genes located on different chromosomes.  Normal vision and normal bones are recessive traits.  A man with cataracts and normal bones, whose father had normal eyes, married a woman free from cataracts but with fragile bones.  Her father had normal bones.  

1. What is the genotype of the man with cataracts and normal bones?

2. What is the genotype of the woman with normal vision and fragile bones?

3. What type of offspring might this couple expect?

Answer:

  1. Cc ff
  2. cc Ff  
  3. F1)  4/16 = 1/2 = 25% CcFf, cataracts and fragile bones

              4/16 = 1/2 = 25% Ccff, cataracts and normal bones

              4/16 = 1/2 = 25% ccFf, normal eyes and fragile bones

              4/16 = 1/2 = 25% ccff normal eyes, normal bones
