Free ear lobes are dominant, attached ear lobes are recessive in humans. If the father has attached ear lobes & the mother free ear lobes, the children will have free lobes if the mother is pure for this trait (homozygous dominant) If the mother was heterozygous, the children will have an even (50 - 50) chance of having free or attached lobes. If both parents are hterozygous, what is the phenotypic ration for the possible offspring? If both parents have attached ear lobes what are the odds (perscentages) of having children with attached lobes? |

Hi meanie222, let's say that free ear lobes= F attached ear lobes= f parents gametes in a punnet square: l F l f --l----l----- F l FF l Ff -------l---- f l Ff l ff as a result the phenotypic ratio is 1(attached ear lobe): 3 (free ear lobe) if both parents have attached ear lobes, they have to be homozygous (for the recessive trait to be shown phenotypically in this case it has to come in a double doze) thereby 100% chance of getting child with attached ear lobe. |
