Which of the following would be the best method forrandomly determining which of two possible alleles a child inherits from thefather?O A. Blindly selecting from a bag filled with blue, green, red, and yellowbeadsQB. Drawing from a deck of cards printed with either an uppercase orlowercase QC.

The best method for randomly determining which of two possible alleles would be the one shown on the second answer option: "B. drawing from a deck of cards printed with either an uppercase or a lowercase Q", since this would represent when choosing two cards randomly, the alleles the hypothetical offspring would have, being Q the dominant allele, and q the recessive allele. This is associated with traits each organism and human has, for example, and considering a dominant allele will mute a recessive one, a dominant allele for black color hair (B), will codes for black hair although there would be a recessive trait with it (Bb: black hair color), while there would be expressed a different color if the two alleles were recessive (bb, for example, brown hair color).
