    The document discusses whether a trait is dominant or recessive based on the possibility of different offspring genotypes between family members. It determines that the trait must be recessive, as an unaffected couple (IV-9 and IV-10) could produce an affected offspring, but not vice versa. If IV-9 and IV-10 were to have another child, there is a 25% chance it would have the recessive trait based on Mendelian genetics.

    A. Look at the family of IV-9 and IV 10. if the trait id dominant, is possible for them to have an affected offspring?

    Ans: No. If the trait is dominant, then unaffected individuals are homozygous recessive. Two recessive individuals
    cannot produce a dominant offspring.
    B. If the trait is recessive, is it possible for IV-9 and IV-10 to have an unaffected offspring?
    Ans: Yes. This can happen if both parents are heterozygous for the trait, which means they can each give a recessive
    allele to produce a homozygous offspring.
    C. Based on your answers for a) and b), is the trait dominant or recessive?
    Ans: Recessive
    D. Give the genotypes of the following:
    i. IV – 9 (Answer: Dd)
    ii. IV – 10 (Answer: Dd)
    iii. V – 1 (Answer: Dd or Dd)
    iv. I – 1 (Answer: dd)
    v. I -2 (Answer: Dd)
    E. If IV-9 and IV-10 were to have another child, what is the probability that they will have an affected offspring?
    ANS: ¼ or 25% following the Mendelian ration from a hybrid cross.
