Question

A single gene mutation in cats can result in curly ears( see image) . The cats are healthy and normal beyond there ear structure. This trait is recessive, in the allele for curly years is $in the ally for a regular ears is S. Which of the following responses are true?
Please help

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct statement about the cat in the picture is B which the cross of this cat with a curly cat will produce 100% curly ear cats.

Explanation:

According to the given statement of the question,the curly ear is a recessive trait and allele for this trait is $.

So the genotype will be homozygous recessive which is $$.

Hence by crossing a $$ cat with another curly ear cat $$ will produce offspring which are identical in genotype $$ and all will have curly ears.

Hence the statement, "the cross of this cat with a curly cat will produce 100% curly ear cats" is a correct statement.
