c. When you inherit one kind of allele from one parent and another kind
from another parent
d. When two alleles code for alternative versions of the same trait
when you inherit two alleles that are the same

There are two types of earlobes people have: attached on the bottom and
free-hanging detached. The free-hanging earlobe is coded by a dominant
allele E. The attached earlobe is a recessive trait and is coded by recessive
allele e.
I. Homozygous dominant genotype will be:
a. EE
b. Ee
c. eE
d. ee
II. If someone has attached earlobes, you can guess that their genotype
is:
a. EE
b. Ee
c. eE
d. ee
I. EE
ll. ee
- Someone with genotype Ee will have:
a. Attached earlobes
b. Detached earlobes
detached
- If mom’s genotype is Aa and dad’s genotype is Aa, then the possible outcomes for children will be:
a. Aa, Aa, Aa, Aa
b. AA, AA, aa, aa
c. AA, Aa, Aa, aa
d. AA, AA, AA, AA
e. aa, aa, aa, aa
c. AA, Aa, Aa, aa
Mom has attached earlobes, and dad has detached earlobes. Knowing that dad has a heterozygous genotype, figure
out both mom’s and dad’s genotypes
Remember: e = recessive, attached earlobes; E = dominant = detached
earlobes. The possible offspring outcomes here will be:
a. EE, EE, EE, EE
b. EE, EE, ee, ee
c. Ee, Ee, Ee, Ee
d. EE, Ee, Ee, ee
e. Ee, Ee, ee, ee
e. Ee, Ee, ee, ee
If both parents have detached earlobes, and both are heterozygous, then
the possible offspring outcomes will be:
a. EE, EE, EE, EE
b. EE, EE, ee, ee
c. Ee, Ee, Ee, Ee
d. EE, Ee, Ee, ee
e. Ee, Ee, ee, ee
d. EE, Ee, Ee, ee
If one parent is homozygous dominant, and the other is homozygous
recessive, then the possible offspring outcomes will be:
a. EE, EE, EE, EE
b. EE, EE, ee, ee
c. Ee, Ee, Ee, Ee
d. EE, Ee, Ee, ee
e. Ee, Ee, ee, ee
c. Ee, Ee, Ee, Ee
Mom is homozygous recessive and dad is homozygous dominant. What is
the % chance of them having a blue-eyed baby?
0%
Both parents are heterozygous. What are their eye colors? What is the
percent chance of them having a blue-eyed baby?
25%
Mom has brown eyes, dad has blue eyes, baby has blue eyes. Question:
What is everyone’s genotype?
Bb bb –>
Bb, Bb, bb, bb
Mom is homozygous healthy, and dad is hemophilic. What is the % chance
of having a hemophilic baby?
0%
Mom is hemophilic, and dad is normal. What is the % chance of having a
hemophilic baby?
50%
If mom is heterozygous healthy for the hemophilia gene, what does it
mean?
a. She has a genotype of XhXn
b. She is a carrier of a bad allele
c. If she has a son with a healthy man, there is 50% chance that he will
have the disease
d. If she has a daughter with a healthy man, the daughter will be healthy
e. All of the above
e. all of the above
For a man with hemophilia, his genotype will be:
a. XnYh
b. XhYh
c. XhY
d. XnY
e. XhYn
c. XhY
A woman with hemophilia will have this genotype:
a. XhXn
b. XhXh
c. XhYh
d. XnYh
e. XhY
b. XhXh
If a healthy homozygous woman and a hemophilic man have a baby, what is the % chance of them having a hemophilic baby? (remember, you have to do this in 2 steps)
a. 0%
b. 25%
c. 50%
d. 75%
e. 100%
0%
