Consider two linked autosomal genes. The dominant allele C
of the first gene causes cataracts of the eye, whereas its
recessive allele produces normal eyes. The dominant allele
P causes polydactyly (an extra finger) whereas its allele
(p) produces a normal number of fingers. A man with
cataracts and normal fingers marries a woman with
polydactyly and normal eyes. Their son has both polydactyly
and cataracts and he marries a woman with neither trait.
What is the probability that their first child will have
cataracts and polydactyly?

The rare trait of ocular albinism (almost complete absence of eye pigment) is inherited as a sex-linked recessive. A man with ocular albinism marries a woman who neither has this trait nor is a carrier. What would you predict about their offspring concerning this trait?
People who can roll their tongues contain a dominant allele for tongue rolling. If people do not contain the tongue rolling gene, then they cannot roll their tongue no matter how hard they try. Consider the following situation: If a homozygous dominant tongue roller mates with a homozygous recessive non-tongue roller, then what is the probability of the offspring inheriting the tongue rolling gene?
