The American curl is a type of cat with curled ears a single gene with two alleles codes for the ear shaped trait. The dominant
allele (R) codes for curled ears, and the recessive allele (r) codes for straight ears. A heterozygous male curl cat is crossed with a heterozygous female curl cat. Using the allele symbols above identify the genotype of the parent cats?
A heterozygous cat has a genotype Hh A hairless cat has a genotype hh When crossed, the results could be any of the following: Hh (with hair) hh (hairless) There is a 50:50 chance or 1: 1 ratio that the offspring will have hair.
