I tend to shy away from starting threads, but I felt like this needed to be shared.
Is the question, in and of itself, racist?
quote:
"LaShamanda has a heterozygous big bootie, the dominant trait. Her man Fontavius has a small bootie which is recessive. They get married and have a baby named LaPrincess" the biology assignment prompts students. The assignment then continues to ask, "What is the probability that LaPrincess will inherit her mama's big bootie?"

If I remember 5th grade correctly, it's a 3/4 chance? But that lesson may have been a little simplistic

Not enough info. We need to know the bootie traits of the parents of LaShamanda and Fontavius in order to determine the proper percentage chance that LaPrincess will be genetically inclined to a big bootie or a small bootie.

Is it racist? No. Is it stupid and inappropriate? Yes.

1/2 big butt.
LaShamanda - heterozygous big - one big bootie allele and one little bootie allele - big bootie is dominant so she has big bootie.
Fontaious - little bootie - therefore homozygous recessive little bootie allele.
LaPrincess - probabilities
big bootie from Lasha and little bootie from Font = big bootie baby
little bootie from LaSha and little bootie for Font = little bootie baby
LaShamanda - heterozygous big - one big bootie allele and one little bootie allele - big bootie is dominant so she has big bootie.
Fontaious - little bootie - therefore homozygous recessive little bootie allele.
LaPrincess - probabilities
big bootie from Lasha and little bootie from Font = big bootie baby
little bootie from LaSha and little bootie for Font = little bootie baby

This.
The teacher was trying to let the class pick a question for the test and it backfired...
