Three babies were recently mixed up in a hospital. Based on the data in the table above, the couple with blood types B and O are the actual parents of the child with blood type



A. O
B. B
C. AB
D. none of these babies could be the child of the couple with blood types B and O


Answer: B

In rabbits there is a dominant gene "T" for long ears and its recessive allele "t" for short ears. At another gene locus, there are alleles "B" for black coat and "W" for white coat. Neither allele is dominant and BW produces a gray coat. These two allele pairs assort independently. If a gray rabbit that is heterozygous at the gene locus controlling ear length is mated with a white rabbit that is also heterozygous at the gene locus controlling ear length, what proportion of the long-eared offspring will be homozygous for that trait?

Neither allele is dominant and BW produces a gray coat. These two allele pairs assort independently. If a gray rabbit that is heterozygous at the gene locus controlling ear length is mated with a white rabbit that is also heterozygous at the gene locus controlling ear length, what is the probability that their first offspring will be gray with long ears?
