In human beings, brown eyes are usually dominant over blue
eyes. Suppose a blue-eyed man marries a brown-eyed woman
whose father was blue-eyed. What proportion of their
children would you predict to have blue eyes?
Answer / sujay
consider genes for brown eyed is BB-dominant and gene for
blue eyed is bb-recessive
If woman is homozygous that is BB & marries with blue eyed
man then proportion of blue eyed children are like this:
man(BLUE) x woman(BROWN)
bb BB
b b B B
Bb Bb Bb Bb no blue eyed children and 0% of
offsprings are blue eyed.
If woman is heterozygous Bb and marries with blue eyed man
then proportion of blue eyed children are like this:
man(BLUE) x woman(BROWN)
bb Bb
b b B b
Bb bb Bb bb
here two children are blue eyed that 50% of the offspring
will be having blue eyes and 50% of children are brown eyed.

The ABO blood system has been employed to settle cases of disputed paternity. Suppose, as an expert in genetics, you are called to testify in a case where the mother is type A, the child is type O and the alleged father is type B. How would you respond to the following statements of the attornies: a. "Since the mother has type A, the type O of the child must have come from the father and since my client is type B, he obviously could not have fatered the child." Made by the attorney of the alleged father. b. "Further tests revealed that this man is heterozygous and therefore he must be the father." Made by the mother's attorney.
