1.Dimples in humans is controlled by a single gene. Dominant allele D indicates dimples will be present, whilst recessive allele d indicates no dimples. 

In each of the following cases draw punnet squares to predict the probablility of offspring with or without dimples. 

1a. Two parents that are both homozygous dominant

Cross between homozygous dominant

1b. Two parents that are both homozygous recessive

two homozygous recessive crossing each other.

1c. One parent is homozygous dominant, whilst the other is homozygous recessive

1d. One parent is homozygous dominant, whilst the other is heterozygous

Homozygous dominant vs heterozygous

1e. Both parents are heterozygous.

Heterozygous vs heterozygous
