Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is this snail's phenotype for the shell banding trait? Solution: The Cepaea snail's genotype for the shell banding gene is bb. The Cepaea snail's genotype of bb has only b alleles. The b allele is for an unbanded shell. So, the Cepaea snail's phenotype for the shell banding trait must be an unbanded shell. To check this answer, consider whether the Cepaea snail's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a banded shell (B) is dominant over the allele for an unbanded shell (b). This means B is a dominant allele, and b is a recessive allele. The Cepaea snail's genotype of bb has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, the Cepaea snail's phenotype for the shell banding trait must be an unbanded shell.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with wavy fur to offspring with straight fur? Choose the most likely ratio. Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with wavy fur or straight fur, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the fur texture trait. The question tells you that the F allele, which is for straight fur, is dominant over the f allele, which is for wavy fur. Wavy fur is the recessive allele's version of the fur texture trait. A Syrian hamster with the recessive version of the fur texture trait must have only recessive alleles for the fur texture gene. So, offspring with wavy fur must have the genotype ff. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype ff. These boxes are highlighted below. Straight fur is the dominant allele's version of the fur texture trait. A Syrian hamster with the dominant version of the fur texture trait must have at least one dominant allele for the fur texture gene. So, offspring with straight fur must have the genotype FF or Ff. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype FF or Ff. These boxes are highlighted below. So, the expected ratio of offspring with wavy fur to offspring with straight fur is 2:2. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 2 offspring with wavy fur for every 2 offspring with straight fur.
