Genetics Unit 5 Review

Polydactyly is an inherited disease. The allele for Polydactyly (P) is dominant to the affected allele (p). If a person who is homozygous dominant has children with a person who is homozygous recessive, what percentage of their children will likely have Polydactyly.

Widows peak is dominant over a straight hairline. Choose the best explanation as to why the majority of offspring had more straight hairlines then the widow's peak.

• One parent provided dominant genes and one parent provided recessive genes

• Genes from both parents were dominant

• Each parent provided both dominant and recessive genes in equal numbers

• Genes from both parents were recessive
