61. Let us assume that hairy toes (hh) and brittle ear wax (ww) are both recessive traits in humans. In families of three childr

en where both parents are heterozygotes at both loci (they have smooth toes and sticky ear wax) what is the probability that the family will consist of one hairy-toed, brittle ear-waxed boy and two smooth-toed, sticky ear-waxed girls

The probability would be 81/32,768

<h3>Dihybrid crossing</h3>

Both parents are heterozygous at both loci, meaning that their genotype is HhWw.

Crossing two HhWw:

                  HhWw    x     HhWw

Offspring;

H_W_ - smooth toes, sticky earwax = 9/16

H_ww - smooth toes, brittle earwax = 3/16

hhW_ - hairy toes, sticky earwax = 3/16

hhww - hairy toes, brittle earwax = 1/16

Probability of a boy = 1/2

Probability of a girl = 1/2

Probability of having hairy toe, brittle earwax boy = 1/16 x 1/2

                                                                           = 1/32

Probability of smooth toe, sticky earwax girl = 9/16 x 1/2

                                                                        = 9/32

Probability of one hairy-toed, brittle ear-waxed boy and two smooth-toed, sticky ear-waxed girls = 1/32 x 9/32 x 9/32

                                    = 81/32,768

In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles.Color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait.M
kifflom [539]

Answer: 1/4

Explanation:

Firstly, in order for both parents to be type A and have children with type o blood, their blood types must both be Ao. Since o is a recessive blood type, a punnett square shows there is a 25% chance any child of theirs will have type o blood. If neither parent is color blind and they have a son who is, it implies that the mother is a carrier of colorblindness and has the genotype XᴮXᵇ. If you do a punnett square of the not colorblind father (XᴮY) and the mother, it shows that a daughter would have a 0% chance of being colorblind. Therefore colorblindess is irrelevent, since there is no possibility of the daughter not having normal color vision. In conclusion, there's a 25% chance she will have type o blood and not be colorblind, since the other 75% chance would be having type A blood and not being colorblind.
