CHALLENGING GENETIC PROBLEMS. For each problem: identify parents’ genotypes, draw Punnett square and answer the questions In pea plants, spherical seeds (R) are dominant to dented seeds (r). In a genetic cross of two plants that are heterozygous for the seed shape trait. 1. What fraction of the offspring would have spherical seeds? 2. In humans, a dimple in the chin (D) is dominant over no dimples in the chin. A man who does not have a chin dimple marries a woman with a chin dimple, whose mother lacked the dimple. What proportion of their children would be expected to have a chin dimple? What is the phenotypic ratio for dimples? ======================================================================================= CHALLENGING GENETIC PROBLEMS.
