Uncle Smiley, who is heterozygous for a yellow face, married a woman with a green face. Both of them have always wanted a large family! If they were to have 12 children, how many of the 12 children would have yellow faces? How many of the 12 children would have green faces? Create a Punnett square to to help you find your answers. Hint: Yellow face is dominant to green face

Answer:

Since Yellow is dominant over green then almost all of the children will have yellow faces. The punnet square below will show what the offspring will have but my guess is

50% will have yellow faces

50% will have both yellow and green

1% will have a green face

But since Yellow is dominant over green the 50% of both colors will mostly show a yellow dominant.

I apologize if my drawing looks messy.

Hope this is correct
