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

Answer:

Rr 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.
