| May 20, 2016 at 22:48 | comment | added | I come from a land down under | Thanks for all of the help I've received with this one....I'll have a go!! John's parents are both Bb John is bb Sara is Bb Sara's sister is bb John and Sara's child is Bb Sara's mum is bb Sara's dad is Bb | |
| May 20, 2016 at 22:17 | comment | added | I come from a land down under | And both of John's parents are Bb, because they are brown eyed...which is dominant, but clearly they are heterozygous because John has blue eyes. | |

| May 20, 2016 at 22:15 | comment | added | I come from a land down under | So am I right in suggesting that John and Sara's sister are bb? | |

| May 19, 2016 at 14:02 | comment | added | MCM | @MalharKhushu -- You should put that in the answer box. :) It's correct AFAIK -- Capital letters for Dominant, lower-case for Recessive, and works fine as long as it's within a Mendelian framework. | |
| May 19, 2016 at 12:47 | comment | added | Malhar Khushu | Conventionally, a pair of contrasting alleles are shown with the first letter of the dominant trait as capital for dominant, and the first letter of the first letter of the dominant trait in lower case for recessive. For this case, it'll be B for brown and b for blue. Someone homozygous for blue would be bb, someone homozygous for brown would be BB and someone heterozygous (brown) would be Bb. | |
