UGH I Cant do it im so frustrated
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling frustrated. Dealing with genetics can be challenging and sometimes overwhelming. Don't worry, I can help you. Just let me know what specific information or assistance you need, and I'll be glad to assist you.
To determine the percent chance of having a curled or straight hair phenotype based on different genotypes, you need to understand the concept of dominant and recessive traits.
In this case, "T" represents the allele for curled hair, and "t" represents the allele for straight hair. The combination of these alleles determines the genotype and subsequent phenotype.
1. For the first genotype (TT), both alleles are for curled hair. Since the allele for curled hair is dominant, individuals with this genotype will have the curled hair phenotype. Therefore, the percent chance of having curled hair for this genotype is 100%.
2. For the second genotype (Tt), one allele is for curled hair and the other allele is for straight hair. Again, the allele for curled hair is dominant, so individuals with this genotype will still have the curled hair phenotype. Therefore, the percent chance of having curled hair for this genotype is also 100%.
3. For the third genotype (tt), both alleles are for straight hair. Since the allele for straight hair is recessive, individuals with this genotype will have the straight hair phenotype. Therefore, the percent chance of having curled hair for this genotype is 0%.
In summary:
- The TT genotype has a 100% chance of having curled hair.
- The Tt genotype also has a 100% chance of having curled hair.
- The tt genotype has a 0% chance of having curled hair.
These percentages are based on the assumption that the trait follows simple Mendelian inheritance patterns, and there are no other influencing factors or genetic interactions involved.
