Question

The brown eye allele (B) is dominant to the blue eye allele (b), and the attached earlobe allele is dominant (A) to the unattached earlobe (a). A brown-eyed, attached earlobe individual is identified. (i) What are the possible genotypes of this individual? Assume you could mate this individual to another student and look at their offspring. (ii) To what type of student should the Brown-eyed, attached - earlobe individual be mated to determine her/his actual genotype? (iii) Why? (one short sentence)

Explanation / Answer

(i) BBAA, BbAA, BbAa, BBAa (ii) blue-eyed, unattached-earlobe individual (iii) If the individual is homozygous dominant, all the offspring will be brown-eyed and attached-earlobe, while if the individual is heterozygous, some of the offspring will be blue-eyed and/or unattached-earlobe.
