  • Q7
    Let's say that in seals, the gene for the length of the whiskers has two alleles. The dominant allele (W) codes long whiskers & the recessive allele (w) codes for short whiskers. If one parent seal is pure long-whiskered and the other is short-whiskered, what percent of offspring would have short whiskers? Hint: make a Punnett square if you are uncertain.
    50%
    100%
    25%
    0%

    incomplete dominance
    polygenic inheritance
    blending inheritance
    codominance
