If the allele encoding polydactyly (six fingers) is dominant why do most people have five fingers? a. Genetic elements suppress the polydactyl gene. b. Polydactyly is embryonic lethal. c. The sixth finger is removed at birth. d. The polydactyl allele is very rare in the human population.

4) In humans, six fingers is the dominant trait and five fingers is the recessive trait. One parent is homozygous for six fingers and one is heterozygous. What are their phenotypes? What is the probability they have a child with six fingers? A child with five fingers?

In humans, five fingers (f) is the recessive trait; six fingers (F) is the dominant trait. Both parents are heterozygous. What are the phenotypes of the father and the mother? What are the genotypes of each parent? What is the probability of them having six- fingered children? Five- fingered children? Follow the steps given in the introduction and show your work below.
