Set the timer for 2 minutes.
Having unattached earlobes is dominant to having attached earlobes.
Rebecca has attached earlobes. Her mom has attached earlobes and her dad has unattached earlobes.
What are the genotypes of her parents?
You can use any letter as long as the allele for unattached earlobes is capitalized and the allele for attached earlobes is lowercase.
Mom: uu
Dad: Uu

Yellow seeds are dominant to green seeds. Two yellow seeded plants cross to have green seeded offspring. What are the parents' genotypes?
You can choose any letter to represent yellow and green seeds as long as you use the same letter and the allele for yellow seed is capitalized and the allele for green seeds is lowercase.
Both parents are heterozygous.
