Question

determine phenotype
complete the table below.
purple flowers are dominant to white flowers brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes
pp = bb =
pp = bb =
pp = bb =
connect phenotype to genotype
straight hair is dominant to curly hair pointed heads are dominant to rounded heads
straight = pointed =
straight

Explanation:

• For flower color:
• When the allele is \(PP\) (homozygous dominant) or \(Pp\) (heterozygous), the dominant purple flower trait is expressed. When the allele is \(pp\) (homozygous recessive), the recessive white flower trait is expressed.
• For eye color:
• When the allele is \(BB\) (homozygous dominant) or \(Bb\) (heterozygous), the dominant brown - eye trait is expressed. When the allele is \(bb\) (homozygous recessive), the recessive blue - eye trait is expressed.
• For hair type (assuming \(S\) is the dominant allele for straight hair and \(s\) is the recessive allele for curly hair):
• Straight hair can be represented by \(SS\) (homozygous dominant) or \(Ss\) (heterozygous).
• For head shape (assuming \(H\) is the dominant allele for pointed head and \(h\) is the recessive allele for rounded head):
• Pointed head can be represented by \(HH\) (homozygous dominant) or \(Hh\) (heterozygous).

Answer:

Purple flowers are dominant to white flowers	Brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes
\(Pp=\) Purple flowers	\(Bb=\) Brown eyes
\(pp=\) White flowers	\(bb=\) Blue eyes
Straight hair is dominant to curly hair	Pointed heads are dominant to rounded heads
\(Straight = SS\) or \(Ss\)	\(Pointed = HH\) or \(Hh\)
