Question 1064517: Will someone please show me the complete solutions for this 4-part word problem: Eye color is determined by genetic combinations. Let R represent the gene for brown eyes and L represent the gene for blue eyes. Any gene combination including R results in brown eyes. Consider the offspring of a parent with a homozygous brown-eyed,RL,gene combination.
1) Show how you could use a polynomial to model the possible genetic combinations of the offspring.
2) What percent of the possible genetic combinations result in brown-eyed offspring.
3) What percent of the possible genetic combinations are carriers for the blue-eyed gene.
4) Show a Punnett square to model your conclusion.
I know this is asking for a lot of your time but I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.
