Title: Parents with the dominant phenotype cannot have offspring with the recessive phenotype?
Post by: michquelld on Dec 17, 2012
A. True because both parents have the dominant allele.
B. True because the dominant gene must be passed down from each parent.
C. False because both parents could carry the recessive allele.
D. False because one parent could carry the recessive allele.
E. True because at least one dominant gene will be passed down from each parent.

I think it's C, but I'm not real sure.

If both parents are Aa then they exhibit the dominant phenotype but have a 1/4 probability of having offspring with the recessive phenotype.
