      c      c

C   Cc     Cc

c    cc      cc

The genotype of the offsprings would be Cc, Cc, cc, cc i.e heterozygous cleft chin and no cleft chin. The phenotype of the offsprings could be 50% cleft chin and 50% without cleft chin.

there will be 50% chance of the child to have cleft chin.

A     Aa       Aa

a      Aa        aa

There will be 25% chance for the offspring to have arched feet. As arched feet is a recessive trait, so for this trait to occur both the alleles of the gene should be recessive i.e aa.

Answer No 4:

    B      b

b   Bb    bb

b    Bb    bb

As blonde is a recessive trait, so both the alleles for this gene should be recessive for this trait to occur. Hence, according to the punnet square, there will be 50% chance for the offspring to be blonde.

Answer No 5:

           F      f

F          FF    Ff

f           Ff     ff

As normal vision is a resessive trait, hence both the alleles of the gene should be recessive for the trait to occur. According to the punnet square, there is 25% chance that the child will have normal vision.
