Bob has brown hair and Sally has blonde hair. If brown hair is dominant and blonde hair is recessive, is it possible for Bob and Sally to have a blonde-haired child? Use the GENOTYPE of each parent to EXPLAIN your answer.

yes it is, let’s say B - is for brown hair and b - is for blonde hair
to have blonde hair they would have to have a bb genotype meaning that if bob had the Bb genotype then sally and bob have a 1/4th chance of having a blonde haired child

Answer:

no it is not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

bc when you do a punnett square brown hair is dominant so there is not a possible way for their child to have blonde.
