A. List the genotypes for each:
Patrick- ______
Patti- ______
C. Which type of head is most likely: tall or short?
Explain.
D. would the children be considered purebreds? Explain.

wrong section, should be in biology but that's ok ;)
A)so when u say patrick is purebred (or homozygous tall) for tall head shape
he would be TT
B)If Patti is short head shaped (homozygous short shaped) she is tt
so now let's put them on a chart (or punnet square since it's genetics)
t t
T Tt Tt
T Tt Tt
C) their kids are most likely to be 100% heterozygous tall (Tt)
D) no their children are not considered purbreds since they are not either TT nor tt
they would probably have a short head because a kid usually gets those kind of genes from a mother.
And no they would not be considered purebread if the mother isnt a purebread.
