I thought it was pretty easy, nothing too complicated. Although in the last question where you had to say what alleles the parents had I forgot to mention the the condition was dominant... :/

Yeah it wasn't on the syllabus but it was just a case of working it out. I said that the condition was caused by a dominant allele and that A and B would both have Hh genotypes.

That what I got, but the problem was that I forgot to mention that the dominant allele caused it :angry:

Oh well... did anyone get for the very last question that you had no way of knowing that they went with probability which meant that it could have been either HH or Hh?
