Genotype problem?
A brown-eyed man whose father was brown-eyed and whose mother was blue-eyed married a blue-eyed woman whose mother and father were both brown-eyed. The couple has a blue-eyed son. For which of the individuals mentioned can you be sure of the genotypes? What are their genotypes? What genotypes are possible for the others?

The mother and father of the woman, and the man are heterozygous. The mother of the man, the woman and the son are homozygous recessive (blue eyes being recessive).

The only one whose genotype is unknown is the father of the man. He could be either homozygous dominate or heterozygous.

i think of this question is loaded. can we actually talk genotypes, while basically phenotypes are supplied? not basically that, however the phenotypes of the dad and mom do not cutting-edge an offspring with an expected phenotype. this question probably should be re-examined with the aid of your instructor, if this is the guy who generated it. perfect, dumbdumb.
