1) For Big Foots, the gene for the length of fur has two alleles. The dominant allele (L) codes long shaggy fur * the recessive
allele (l) shorter curly fur. A heterozygous and a homozygous recessive big foot are crossed A. What percentage of offspring would be expected to have long shaggy fur? B. List the genotype(s) of the shaggy furred Big Foots
A punnet square can be described as a diagram which shows the outcomes of a cross between parents. This cross is very helpful to understand the passing of traits from parents to offsprings.
The cross for the above scenario can be shown as:
l l
L Ll Ll
l ll ll
A. There will a 50% chance that the offsprings will have long shaggy fur. There will be a 50% chance that the offsprings will have shorter curly fur.
B. The genotypes of the offsprings will be Ll and ll.
