Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Ringo's phenotype for the fur texture trait?
Solution: You need to determine Ringo's phenotype for the fur texture trait. First, consider the alleles in Ringo's genotype for the fur texture gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive.
The allele for straight fur (F) is dominant over the allele for wavy fur (f). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele.
Ringo's genotype of Ff has one dominant allele and one recessive allele. An organism with at least one dominant allele for a gene will have the dominant allele's version of the trait. So, Ringo's phenotype for the fur texture trait must be straight fur. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same species as the pink-backed pelican.
Solution: A pink-backed pelican's scientific name is Pelecanus rufescens.
