Phenylthiocarbamide ptc is an organic compound that either


The genotype of the woman is heterozygous (cc) and the Albino is homozygous recessive( Cc) for the married couple

Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is an organic compound that either tastes extremely bitter or is tasteless, depending on the genotype of the taster. The tasting allele is dominant over the non-tasting allele. 

Normal skin pigmentation is dominant over albinism. (It is important to note that this example of PTC tasting cannot be explained with simple genetics, but for the purpose of this question, assume that it can.) 

A normally-pigmented woman who cannot taste PTC has an albino father who can taste PTC. The woman married an albino man who can taste PTC and whose mother cannot taste PTC. 

For the married couple, 

  1. correctly identify their genotypes,
