The ability to roll one’s tongue(R) is dominant over non-rolling (r). The ability to taste PTC (T) is dominant over non-taster (t). Suppose a woman who is both homozygous tongue-roller and a non-taster marries a man who is heterozygous tongue-roller and is a PTC- taster, and have three children: a homozygous tongue-roller who is also a PTC- taster, a heterozygous tongue-roller who is also a taster, and a heterozygous tongue-roller who is a non-taster.

a.If these parents would have a bunch of more children so that they had 12 in all, how many of these 12 would you expect to be non-tasters who are homozygous for tongue-rolling?

b.If the first child (the homozygous tongue-roller who is a PTC-taster) marries someone who is heterozygous for both traits, draw the Punnett square that predicts what their children would be.
