Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Shiloh's phenotype for the fur length trait? Solution: Shiloh's genotype for the fur length gene is ff. Shiloh's genotype of ff has only f alleles. The f allele is for long fur. So, Shiloh's phenotype for the fur length trait must be long fur. To check this answer, consider whether Shiloh's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for long fur (f) is recessive to the allele for short fur (F). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele. Shiloh's genotype of ff has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Shiloh's phenotype for the fur length trait must be long fur.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Flounder's phenotype for the eye color trait? Solution: Flounder's genotype for the eye color gene is ee. Flounder's genotype of ee has only e alleles. The e allele is for black eyes. So, Flounder's phenotype for the eye color trait must be black eyes. To check this answer, consider whether Flounder's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for red eyes (E) is dominant over the allele for black eyes (e). This means E is a dominant allele, and e is a recessive allele. Flounder's genotype of ee has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Flounder's phenotype for the eye color trait must be black eyes.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with green peas to offspring with yellow peas? Choose the most likely ratio. Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with green peas or yellow peas, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the pea color trait. The question tells you that the e allele, which is for green peas, is recessive to the E allele, which is for yellow peas. Green peas is the recessive allele's version of the pea color trait. A pea plant with the recessive version of the pea color trait must have only recessive alleles for the pea color gene. So, offspring with green peas must have the genotype ee. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype ee. These boxes are highlighted below. Yellow peas is the dominant allele's version of the pea color trait. A pea plant with the dominant version of the pea color trait must have at least one dominant allele for the pea color gene. So, offspring with yellow peas must have the genotype EE or Ee. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype EE or Ee. These boxes are highlighted below. So, the expected ratio of offspring with green peas to offspring with yellow peas is 2:2. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 2 offspring with green peas for every 2 offspring with yellow peas.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Walker's phenotype for the horns trait? Solution: Walker's genotype for the horns gene is hh. Walker's genotype of hh has only h alleles. The h allele is for having horns. So, Walker's phenotype for the horns trait must be having horns. To check this answer, consider whether Walker's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for having horns (h) is recessive to the allele for not having horns (H). This means H is a dominant allele, and h is a recessive allele. Walker's genotype of hh has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Walker's phenotype for the horns trait must be having horns.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring that have coat graying to offspring that do not have coat graying? Choose the most likely ratio. Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring that do or do not have coat graying, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the coat graying trait. The question tells you that the G allele, which is for having a graying coat, is dominant over the g allele, which is for not having a graying coat. Having a graying coat is the dominant allele's version of the coat graying trait. A horse with the dominant version of the coat graying trait must have at least one dominant allele for the coat graying gene. So, offspring that have coat graying must have the genotype GG or Gg. All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype GG or Gg. Not having a graying coat is the recessive allele's version of the coat graying trait. A horse with the recessive version of the coat graying trait must have only recessive alleles for the coat graying gene. So, offspring that do not have coat graying must have the genotype gg. There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype gg. So, the expected ratio of offspring that have coat graying to offspring that do not have coat graying is 4:0. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will always produce offspring that have coat graying. This cross is expected to never produce offspring that do not have coat graying.
