Phenotype - short , Tall
Genotype - tt (short) , TT or Tt (tall)
<u>Explanation:</u>
In Mendelian Genetics, <em>Dominant traits</em> are represented by capital letters and <em>Recessive traits</em> are represented by small letters.
So if height is the character considered, then the traits would be short and tall.
Tall is the dominant phenotype and short is the recessive phenotype.
The alleles of the gene for height are T and t.
The genotype for Tall trait is TT or Tt.
The genotype for short trait is tt.
Therefore, the symbol representation of phenotype (Tall) is TT or Tt and for phenotype (short) is tt.
Answer:
3 long tails : 1 short tail
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for tail length in mice. The allele for long tail (T) is dominant over the allele for short tail (t). This means that an heterozygous mice will possess the long tail length.
According to this question, in a cross between two hybrid or heterozygote mice i.e. Tt × Tt, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:
Tt - T and t
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following will be produced: TT, Tt, Tt and tt.
Offsprings with genotype TT, Tt and Tt will have a LONG TAIL while genotype tt will have a SHORT TAIL. Hence, the phenotypic ratio will be 3 long tails : 1 short tail.
The answer is C because dominant is the capital letters and homozygous means the same
Answer:
Each cell in your body has DNA, but the DNA formation was influenced by your parents. Their genes formed your genes.
Answer:
Heterozygous dominant
Explanation:
because, as you know, heterozygous is different, and Dd has both dominant and recessive, making it heterozygous rather than homozygous.
Because the first d is dominant (capital D), then it makes the genotype dominant and heterozygous.
