Marfan syndrome is a dominant trait. a cross between a homozygous dominant and a heterozygote would produce what phenotypic ratio

The correct answer is- 4:0

Explanation:

Marfan syndrome is a genetic problem which affects the connective tissue in the body. The trait for this disease is autosomal dominant which means even one abnormal copy of this gene in the offspring or individual is sufficient to cause this syndrome.

Let S is the allele that is dominant for this syndrome and s is recessive. So if a cross between homozygous dominant(SS) and heterozygous individual (Ss) occurs than all the offspring would have this syndrome.  

                                   S      s

                              S  SS   Ss

                              S  SS   Ss

Therefore all 4 offspring would have at least one dominant allele which is sufficient to cause this syndrome. So the phenotype ratio would be 4:0.

hi~~

i would say that hybridization occurs frequently in nature, because there are many types of hybrids that have occurred naturally, such as the mule (male donkey + female horse)

c. is the correct answer
