On your own, draw a punnett square. Than, provide all the possible combinations of alleles for the children. Hint: there are 4 possibilities.
Let's take an example of height. A person can be tall or short. The 'tall' trait is dominant over 'short'. Let allele for tall height be denoted by T and that for short height be denoted by t. Let the genotype of the father be Tt (heterozygous dominant) and that of the mother be tt. The punnette square for this cross is shown below-
T | t | |
t | Tt (tall) | tt (short) |
t | Tt (tall) | tt (short) |
So, the four combinations of alleles for the offspring is Tt, Tt, tt and tt.
