The pedigree below shows inheritance pattern of a family with lactose intolerant individuals. Those with the recessive trait of lactose intolerance are shaded.

Which individual has 100% probability of being lactose intolerant?
The pedigree below shows inheritance pattern of a family with lactose intolerant individuals. Those with the recessive trait of lactose intolerance are shaded.
Observe the individuals indicated in the red box.

Achondroplasia (A) is a dominant condition, a primary feature is dwarfism. Normal condition (a) is recessive. In order to have a normal condition you must have two recessive alleles.
Which circle graph shows the genotype probability when a heterozygous female mates with a male that is homozygous recessive?
In dogs the allele for pointy ears (P) is dominant over the allele for floppy ears (p). The phenotypes for each trait are shown below in the picture.
The probability (% chance) that the offspring will have floppy ears if both parents are heterozygous is
In tomato plants, short stems are present in tomato plants that are homozygous recessive for that trait. Plants that have the dominant trait have long stems.
If a homozygous dominant plant mates with a heterozygous plant, of the offspring will have long stems, and of the offspring will have short stems.
