In humans the allele for short fingers is dominant over that for long fingers. If a person with short fingers who had a parent with long fingers marries a person with long fingers what are the chances?

If the person with short fingers has one dominant allele for short fingers (S) and one recessive allele for long fingers (s), their genotype would be heterozygous (Ss). The person with long fingers has the genotype homozygous recessive (ss). When these two individuals have children, there is a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit the dominant allele for short fingers (Ss) and a 50% chance for long fingers (ss). Thus, there is a 50% chance of the children having short fingers and a 50% chance of having long fingers.
