1- An individual whose genotype is unknown, phenotypically expresses a dominant trait. To determine the genotype of the individual with the unknown genotype, you perform a test cross. The results of the offspring produced show 50% with the dominant and 50% with the recessive trait. What is the genotype of the unknown individual.
2-Two sisters both have blood type O and neither of the parents have type O. List all the possible blood types of the parents and all of their potential genotypes.(write in the correct format ( I^A/I^A, ii/I^B etc)
-----
1- I don't even know how to start this, is it trial and error is there a real way to approach this problem?
2- I don't understand how to set up these punnett squares, I know that Type O = ii, but I can't set up ii with any other blood type b/c that would result in some being type O which the parents aren't.
Can someone please explain how to set these up, I'm trying, but they aren't making sense. I'd really appreciate it.Thanks! = )
