"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?"
LaShamanda: Bb
Fontavius: bb
Possible genotypes for LaPrincess: Bb Bb bb bb
Therefore, P(LaPrincess has a big booty) = 0.5

Good ones. But the best one I ever heard was “La-Sha”......the ‘dash’ don’t be silent.

Has anyone ever heard about an old “law school final exam,” where the question about Bankruptcy began something like “Lionel want to open a moon pie factory...”

Yes, little Nyquille was very upset! As was her sister, Vagisil. Not to mention granny Vulvaliatis and aunt Fee'Mallie.

I see (hear) these names on Jerry Springer and Maury and I come to the realization that all these citizens have one thing in common now, or in their future - an EBT card and a deep seeded desire to tag the baby daddy with a DNA result that gets them “chile support”.

"I had asked the students to pick two of the remaining questions on the worksheet and did not necessarily assign that particular one," the teacher said. That's her excuse? Her excuse is that it was not required that students answer that question?
She should be explaining why it printed on the worksheet at all.

I agree that it is inappropriate. I get that they were trying to be funny, but there are better ways to be funny.

That would be interesting unless the trait is sex linked.
There is a lot oc criticism on the thread that indicates general ignorance.
To ask about a bootie trait and recessive gene will develop far more understanding and remembrance than asking the same question about a trait related to peas or perhaps ear lobes.

Well, now, if Lionel is a corporation, and the question was on a British law school exam, then it was grammatically correct.
