A student recently told me that both she and her brother have blue eyes (bb), and that both of her parents are brown-eyed. Using a Punnett square, list the genotypes and phenotypes showing how it’s possible for this to happen.

A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
I'm having trouble listing which allele causes the PKU disease. It saids that one of the couple is a homozygous dominant and the other is a heterozygous and that I need to use the letter "P" to represent the alleles in the genotypes to complete the problem.
Using the pedigree chart, explain: a) The number of generations seen. b) If all blue-coloured shapes are affected with disease X- how many males are affected? how many females are affected? c) Does this disease have a dominant or recessive inheritance pattern? Justify your answer.
Purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. Identify the phenotypefor the following genotype Ff, FF, ff and determine if the genotype is heterozygous or homozygous. * For each row, you should select two columns.

Identify the phenotype for the following genotype BB, Bb, bb and determine if the genotype is heterozygous or homozygous. * 口ロ口

Two people are planning to have children together. Each person is heterozygous for the gene “G”. Using this letter, first list all the possible gametes that the two people can produce. Next, write all the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their offspring, using the correct genetic terminology (e.g., “genotype is homozygous dominant” “phenotype is dominant”). HINT: Use the gametes to construct a Punnett square and predict the possible offspring (you do not need to include the Punnett square in your answer

In a paternity case, a single mother claimed that a certain man was the father of her baby. The man denied it claiming that her current boyfriend was the father. The court ordered a blood test (cheaper than DNA testing) to see if he could be ruled out as the father. The mother was Type O and the baby was Type O. The man was Type AB. What is the possible genotype of the biological father? heterozygous Type A homozygous Type A heterozygous Type B

I just want an explanation of what is in bold please. Lab Introduction: A dihybrid cross is a cross between individuals that involves two pairs of contrasting traits. To Predict the results of a dihybrid, cross all possible combinations of the four alleles from each parent must be considered. You will examine a dihybrid cross involving both color and texture. Purple (P), is dominate to yellow (p), and smooth texture (S) is dominant to wrinkled (s). Both parent plants are heterozygous for both traits. Review genetics and the use of Punnett squares in a biology text before doing this experiment.MATERIALS: Assume you have ear of Corn. You need a heterozygous X heterozygous 9:3:3:1, purple/yellow, starchy/sweet. PROCEDURE: From above please write out: The crop The parental (P) cross phenotype, genotype, gametes The F1 progeny Genotype and Phenotype Cross between two F1 Selfed testcross The F1 gametes The expected F2 results, genotype, phenotype, genotypic ratio, phenotypic ratio. 1.…
