Question

In humans, the number of fingers is controlled by one gene. For this finger number gene, six fingers (F) is (surprisingly!) the dominant trait and five fingers (f) is the recessive trait. It turns out that the dominant six finger allele is very rare in humans Links to an external site. so there are very few people with six fingers. For this question both parents are heterozygous for the finger number gene and they are curious what possible traits their children might have. Since they know you are taking biology they ask for your advice: Since both parents are heterozygous for the finger number gene, what is their genotype? Since both parents are heterozygous for the finger number gene, what is their phenotype? Which of these options correctly shows the cross between these parents? Since both parents are heterozygous for the finger number gene, what will be the genotypes of their gametes? On a piece of paper set up a Punnett square for the cross between this mother and father and work through the steps explained above to answer the following questions about the children of these parents: What is the probability that these parents will have a 6 fingered child? What is the probability that these parents will have a 5 fingered child?

Name: in humans the number of fingers is controlled by one gene for this finger number gene six fingers f is surprisingly the dominant trait and five fingers f is the recessive trait it turns out 81243
