Can scientists tell by simply reading the gene exactly what a person looks like? For example: Can they look at a person and choose from a choice of genes readings =what it says on the chromosome?
Also, can a gene be used to identify a criminal let’s say? Like if they can’t get a genetic sampling of the suspects, but they have some genes from the scene of the crime, can they use the gene to identify the appearance of the criminal?

Genetics problem. What happens if there is one gene with two alleles that show incomplete dominance?
Suppose that in yellow perch, stripe color is controlled by one gene with two alleles that show incomplete dominance. The allele E1 produces yellow pigment and allele E2 produces blue pigment. If we cross a yellow-striped individual with a blue-striped individual, how many of their offspring will be yellow-striped? Explain.
