A father does not have dimples, which is recessive. His wife has dimples, which is dominant. What is the probability of them having a child with dimples? Draw a Punnett square to explain your answer.
Father is rr, mother could be Rr or RR. If Rr, 75% chance, if RR, 100% chance of dimples

Brown eyes in humans are dominant to blue eyes. A brown-eyed man, whose mother was blue-eyed, marries a blue-eyed woman whose father had brown eyes. What is the probability that this couple will have a blue-eyed child?
50% chance of a blue eyed child.
Father: Must be Bb
Mother: Must be bb
Complete a Punnett square to cross Bb x bb, and there will be a 50% chance of bb (blue eyes).
