If you remember me again, I have another question about genetics.
I think that a cross of the two homozygous long-whiskered seals's offspring will have no short-whiskers (which is 0%) because in a punnet square it would look like this:
W W
W WW WW
W WW WW
Then I think the cross between the two heterzygous seals punnet square would look like this. I dont know what the percentge is.
Please correct me if ANYTHING is wrong.
W w
W WW Ww
w Ww ww
This is the question.
Let's say that in seals, the gene for the length of the whiskers has two alleles. The dominant allele (W) codes for long whiskers & the recessive allele (w) codes for short whiskers. What percentage of offspring would be expected to have short whiskers from the cross of two long-whiskered seals, one that is homozygous dominant and one that is heterozygous? Explain your answer and use a punnett square.
