Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with a hairy body to offspring with a hairless body? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with a hairy body or a hairless body, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the body hair trait. The question tells you that the b allele, which is for a hairless body, is recessive to the B allele, which is for a hairy body.
A hairy body is the dominant allele's version of the body hair trait. A deer mouse with the dominant version of the body hair trait must have at least one dominant allele for the body hair gene. So, offspring with a hairy body must have the genotype BB or Bb.
All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype BB or Bb.
A hairless body is the recessive allele's version of the body hair trait. A deer mouse with the recessive version of the body hair trait must have only recessive alleles for the body hair gene. So, offspring with a hairless body must have the genotype bb.
There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype bb.
So, the expected ratio of offspring with a hairy body to offspring with a hairless body is 4:0. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will always produce offspring with a hairy body. This cross is expected to never produce offspring with a hairless body.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Dusty's phenotype for the body hair trait?
Solution: Dusty's genotype for the body hair gene is bb. Dusty's genotype of bb has only b alleles. The b allele is for a hairless body. So, Dusty's phenotype for the body hair trait must be a hairless body.
To check this answer, consider whether Dusty's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a hairless body (b) is recessive to the allele for a hairy body (B). This means B is a dominant allele, and b is a recessive allele.
Dusty'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, Dusty's phenotype for the body hair trait must be a hairless body.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Minnie's phenotype for the fur texture trait?
Solution: You need to determine Minnie's phenotype for the fur texture trait. First, consider the alleles in Minnie's genotype for the fur texture gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive.
The allele for wavy fur (f) is recessive to the allele for straight fur (F). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele.
Minnie'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, Minnie's phenotype for the fur texture trait must be straight fur.

Question: [QUESTION]Which bird's beak is also adapted to crack large, hard nuts?
Solution: Look at the picture of the hyacinth macaw.
The hyacinth macaw has a thick hooked beak. Its beak is adapted to crack large, hard nuts. The hyacinth macaw uses its thick beak to crack the shell of a nut by squeezing it. The hooked shape of the beak can help the bird hold the nut in place while cracking it.
Now look at each bird. Figure out which bird has a similar adaptation.
The Alexandrine parakeet has a thick hooked beak. Its beak is adapted to crack large, hard nuts.
The spotted dove has a short, thin beak. Its beak is not adapted to crack large, hard nuts.
