Question

please help :(

1.)The female that this egg cell belongs to is red-eyed which is a recessive trait (e). What is the genotype of the female the egg came from? ____

2.)According to public records we’ve been able to gather, NuGen’s island contained dinosaurs with a homozygous dominant genotype for wild-eye color (E). What is that genotype? _________

Answer 1

I don't know bio. I am sorry. :)

Answer 2

Is this a homework or a test?

Answer 3

its homework

Answer 4

Okay good. Well, what does Homozygous mean?

Answer 5

Homozygous describes a genotype that consists of two identical alleles

Answer 6

Now what does Homozygous Dominant mean?

Answer 7

When an organism is homozygous-dominant for a trait, the genotype is represented by a doubling of the symbol for that trait, such as "PP".

Answer 8

Then you probably should know number 2. Now, "The female that this egg cell belongs to is red-eyed which is a recessive trait (e)." Tell me what you see that is special in that sentence

Answer 9

I don't see anything special in the sentence

Answer 10

"recessive trait (e)"
What can yo tell me about that?

Answer 11

*you

Answer 12

wait so you would need to need to double the (e)?

Answer 13

Yes because it is recessive. Only (aa) can be recessive and be the 25% chance of you getting it.

Answer 14

Dominant could be (AA) (25%) or (Aa) 50% Only.

Answer 15

so what exactly would be my answer for the first question?

Answer 16

Well since (AA) and (Aa) are both dominant, then (aa) could only be it.

Answer 17

wouldn't it be (ee)

Answer 18

Yep you got it. :D

Answer 19

okay now how would I answer the second one @DJPatrickStar

Answer 20

It would be utterly dominant no matter what punnett square you put it in.
I looked for the term "homozygous dominant on google and this is what i got: https://www.google.com/search?q=homozygous+dominant+genotype&oq=homozygous+dominant+genotype&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l2&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8

Answer 21

so what do you think I should put as the answer?

Answer 22

(EE)?

Answer 23

@DJPatrickStar ?

Answer 24

Yeah
(ee)

Answer 25

make sure its lowercase

Answer 26

why lowercase?

Answer 27

Because uppercase is dominant and lowercase is recessive

Answer 28

1.)The female that this egg cell belongs to is red-eyed which is a recessive trait (e). What is the genotype of the female the egg came from? __(ee)__

2.)According to public records we’ve been able to gather, NuGen’s island contained dinosaurs with a homozygous dominant genotype for wild-eye color (E). What is that genotype? ___(ee)______

so those would be the answers?

Answer 29

no 2 is EE

Answer 30

1.)The female that this egg cell belongs to is red-eyed which is a recessive trait (e). What is the genotype of the female the egg came from? __(ee)__

2.)According to public records we’ve been able to gather, NuGen’s island contained dinosaurs with a homozygous dominant genotype for wild-eye color (E). What is that genotype? ___(EE)______

so those would be the answers?
