Question

Assume all are homozygous. Alleles: A=agouti, C=chinchilla, a=albino, A is dominant over C and a, C is dominant over a.

Answer 1

Answer:

The punnet square can be completed as follows:

       C        C

A    AC       AC

A    AC       AC

The results from the punnet square show that all of the offsprings form will be agouti as agouti is the dominant trait. However, the genotype of the offspring will be heterozygous carrying the alleles AC.

A dominant trait is the trait which arises due to a dominant allele. The dominant allele masks the effect of the recessive allele.

A heterozygous genotype occurs when the alleles of a gene are different.
