Martha has widow's peak and attached earlobes. Martha's dad had a straight hairline and unattached earlobes. If Martha marries a man that is heterozygous for both traits, what is the probability that they will have a child with a widow's peak and attached earlobes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the probability of having a widow peak and attached earlobe = 0.6667*0.66667 = 0.4445 = 44.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Martha = widow's peak + attached earlobes.

Martha's dad = straight hairline + unattached earlobes.

Martha husband =straight hairline+ widow's peak + attached earlobes

what is the probability that Martha child will have a widow's peak + attached earlobes?

since,

Martha + Martha husband =straight hairline+ widow's peak + attached earlobes

the probability of the child having widow peak is 2/3 = 0.6667

the probability of the child having attached earlobes is 2/3 = 0.66667

the probability of having both = 0.6667*0.66667 = 0.4445
