While the majority mermaids and mermen have blue tails, a dominant trait, some possess a red tail, the recessive trait. Cornelius, a merman whose parents both had blue tails, has a red tail and mates with Cleo, a mermaid with a red tail. Perform a monohybrid cross between the two to find out what their children will look like.

Coral, the sister of Cornelius, is a carrier of the tail color gene and is married to Zeke, who is homozygous dominant. Perform a monohybrid cross between the two to find out what their children will look like.

Mermaids and mermaid also either have the dominant green hair trait or recessive blue hair trait. Perform a dihybrid cross between a mermaid that is homozygous dominant for both hair and tail color traits with a merman that is heterozygous recessive for both traits to find out what their children will look like.
