In humans curly hair is dominant to straight hair and brown
In humans, curly hair is dominant to straight hair and brown eyes are dominate to blue eyes. What are the possible phenotypes in offspring from a man with straight hair and heterozygous for eye color and a woman blue-eyed and heterozygous for hair?
Solution
curly hair = SS; straight hair = ss
Brown eyes = BB ; blue eyes = bb
ssBb X Ssbb
Phenotypes of offspring are : 1 (curly hair); 3 (straight hair); 2 (curly hair and brown eyes); 2 (curly hair and blue eyes); 2 (straight hair and brown eyes); 2 (straight hair and blue eyes); 3 (blue eyes) and 1 (Brown eyes).
| male / female | Ss | ss | Bb | bb |
| Ss | SSss (curly hair) | Ssss (straight hair) | SsBb (curly hair and brown eyes) | Ssbb (curly hair and blue eyes) |
| ss | Ssss (straight hair) | ssss (straight hair) | ssBb (straight hair and brown eyes) | ssbb (straight hair and blue eyes) |
| Bb | SsBb (curly hair and brown eyes) | ssBb (straight hair and brown eyes) | BBbb (Brown eyes) | Bbbb (blue eyes) |
| bb | Ssbb (curly hair and blue eyes) | ssbb (straight hair and blue eyes) | Bbbb (blue eyes) | bbbb (blue eyes) |
