Hepppp!!! The American curl is a type of cat with curled ears. A single gene with two alleles codes for the ear-shape trait. The
dominant allele (R) codes for curled ears, and the recessive allele (r) codes for straight ears. If two curled ear cats produce a kitten that has straight ears, what is the genotype of the parent cats? a Rr x Rr b RR x RR c RR x Rr d Rr x rr
Explanation: The parents of the cat have to have an R allele to be a curled cat, but they can't be RR because that is a dominant gene, meaning that the recessive trait cannot happen. This means that the parents have to have a recessive trait, which means that they are heterozygous.
Soil particles vary greatly in size, and soil scientists classify soil particles into sand, silt, and clay. Starting with the finest, clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm in diameter. Some clay particles are so small that ordinary microscopes do not show them. Silt particles are from 0.002 to 0.05 mm in diameter.
