Question

About 70% of Americans get a bitter taste from the substance called phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). It is

tasteless to the rest. The "taster" allele is dominant (T) to non-taster (t). Also, normal skin pigmentation is
dominant (N) to albino (n). A normally pigmented woman who is taste-blind for PTC has an albino-taster
father. She marries an albino man who is a taster, though the man's mother is a non-taster. Show the
expected offspring of this couple.
Parents genotype:

Answer 1

Answer: Parent's Genotype: Nntt x nnTt

Step-by-step explanation:

The woman is first, and the man is second in the equation above.

The woman is heterozygous, with normal pigment because her father had to pass on an albino allele. She is also a homozygous non-taster because the only way you can be one is to have two recessive alleles.

The man is homozygous albino because the only way you can be one is to have two recessive alleles. He is also heterozygous for tasting because his mother had to pass on a non-taster allele.

Possible offspring

`\left[\begin{array}{cccc}NnTt & NnTt & nnTt & nnTt\\NnTt & NnTt & nnTt & nnTt\\Nntt & Nntt & nntt & nntt\\Nntt & Nntt & nntt & nntt\end{array}\right]`

Hope this helps!
