Accepted Answer

### Question 1
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall Genotype-Phenotype Rules
For a trait, dominant allele (capital letter) shows phenotype if present. Homozygous dominant (TT) or heterozygous (Tt) shows dominant phenotype; homozygous recessive (tt) shows recessive.

## Step2: Analyze Each Option
- **A. TT**: Both alleles dominant for height. Phenotype: Tall.
- **B. ll**: Both alleles dominant for lip color (Purple is dominant, L; wait, typo? Wait, table: Lip Color - Dominant Purple (L), Recessive Green (l). So ll? Wait, no, B is "ll"? Wait, table: Lip Color dominant is L (Purple), recessive l (Green). So ll is homozygous recessive? Wait, no, the option B is "ll"? Wait, the problem says "B. ll" – wait, maybe typo, but according to table, Lip Color: Dominant L (Purple), Recessive l (Green). So ll would be Green? Wait, no, wait the problem's part 1: "B. ll" – wait, maybe a typo, but original table: Lip Color - Dominant Purple (L), Recessive Green (l). So if genotype is ll, phenotype is Green? Wait, no, wait the first part: "Use the information about flobbits to fill in the phenotype for each trait." So:

- A. TT: Height trait, T is dominant (Tall). So phenotype: Tall.
- B. ll: Lip Color, l is recessive (Green). Wait, but the dominant is L (Purple), so ll (homozygous recessive) is Green? Wait, but maybe the option is "Ll"? Wait, the user's problem has "B. ll" – maybe typo, but proceed.
- C. ee: Eye Number, e is recessive (Three). So phenotype: Three eyes.
- D. Ee: Eye Number, E is dominant (One). So phenotype: One eye.

# Answer:
A. Tall
B. Green (if ll is recessive; but check table: Lip Color - Dominant L (Purple), Recessive l (Green). So ll → Green)
C. Three eyes
D. One eye

### Question 2
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall Genotype for Phenotype
- Dominant phenotype (e.g., One eye) can be homozygous dominant (EE) or heterozygous (Ee).
- Recessive phenotype (e.g., Two fangs) is homozygous recessive (ff).

## Step2: Analyze Each Option
- **A. One eye**: Eye Number, dominant E (One). Genotypes: EE or Ee.
- **B. Two fangs**: Number of Fangs, recessive f (Two). Genotype: ff.
- **C. Short**: Height, recessive t (Short). Genotype: tt.
- **D. Purple lips**: Lip Color, dominant L (Purple). Genotypes: LL or Ll.

# Answer:
A. EE or Ee
B. ff
C. tt
D. LL or Ll

### Question 3
# Explanation:
## Step1: Define Terms
- Heterozygous: Different alleles (e.g., Ll).
- Homozygous: Same alleles (EE or ee).
- Hybrid: Heterozygous (same as heterozygous).
- Purebred: Homozygous (e.g., TT or tt).

## Step2: Analyze Each Option
- **A. Heterozygous purple lips**: Lip Color, dominant L (Purple). Heterozygous: Ll.
- **B. Homozygous one eye**: Eye Number, dominant E (One). Homozygous dominant: EE.
- **C. Hybrid one fang**: Number of Fangs, dominant F (One). Hybrid (heterozygous): Ff.
- **D. Purebred tall**: Height, dominant T (Tall). Purebred (homozygous dominant): TT.

# Answer:
A. Ll
B. EE
C. Ff
D. TT

### Question 4A
# Explanation:
## Step1: Determine Parental Genotypes
- Marge’s father: Heterozygous tall → Tt.
- Marge’s mother: Short → tt (recessive, so homozygous).

## Step2: Create Punnett Square
|   | T | t |
|---|---|---|
| t | Tt | tt |
| t | Tt | tt |

## Step3: Marge is Tall (Given)
From Punnett square, possible genotypes: Tt (tall) or tt (short). But Marge is tall, so she must be Tt (since tt is short).

# Answer:
Marge’s genotype: Tt

### Question 4B
# Explanation:
## Step1: Define Heterozygous
Heterozygous means two different alleles (one dominant, one recessive). For height, dominant T (Tall), recessive t (Short). So heterozygous tall: Tt.

# Answer:
George’s genotype: Tt

### Question 4C (Punnett Square for George (Tt) and Marge (Tt))
# Explanation:
## Step1: Set Up Punnett Square
George: Tt (gametes: T, t)
Marge: Tt (gametes: T, t)

|   | T | t |
|---|---|---|
| T | TT | Tt |
| t | Tt | tt |

# Answer:
Punnett square:
|   | T | t |
|---|---|---|
| T | TT | Tt |
| t | Tt | tt |

### Question 4D (Possible Genotypes and Phenotypes)
# Explanation:
## Step1: Analyze Punnett Square
From the square (TT, Tt, Tt, tt):

- Genotypes: TT, Tt, tt
- Phenotypes:
  - TT: Tall
  - Tt: Tall
  - tt: Short

# Answer:
Genotypes: TT, Tt, tt; Phenotypes: Tall (TT, Tt), Short (tt)

### Question 4E (Probability of Tall Kids)
# Explanation:
## Step1: Count Tall Genotypes
From Punnett square: TT (1), Tt (2) → total 3 tall out of 4.

## Step2: Calculate Percentage
$\frac{3}{4} 	imes 100 = 75\%$

# Answer:
75

### Question 4F (Probability of Short Kids)
# Explanation:
## Step1: Count Short Genotypes
From Punnett square: tt (1) out of 4.

## Step2: Calculate Percentage
$\frac{1}{4} 	imes 100 = 25\%$

# Answer:
25
