31.  In humans, brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes.  Suppose a blue-eyed man marries a brown-eyed woman whose father was blue-eyed.  What proportion of their children would you predict will have blue eyes?  

 

 

 

32.  A black guinea pig crossed with an albino one gave 12 black offspring.  When the albino was crossed with a second black one, 7 blacks and 5 albinos were obtained.  What is the best explanation for the type of inheritance illustrated?  What are the genotypes of the parents, gametes and offspring?  Show your work to receive partial credit.

 

 

 

 

33.  In Cocker Spaniels, black color is due to a dominant gene B, and red color to its recessive allele b. Solid color is dependent on a dominant gene S, and white–spotting on its recessive allele s.  A solid red male was mated to a black-and-white female.  They have five puppies; one black, one red, one black-and-white, and two red-and white.  What were the genotypes of the parents?
