If a rabbit that is homozygous dominant for long ears (E) mates with a rabbit that is homozygous recessive (e) and has short ears, what are the possible genotypes of the offspring?
Ee: 100%

In a population of cats, some individuals have short fur and others have long fur. The gene for fur length has two possible alleles. One allele is for short fur (F), and the other allele is for long fur (f).
The Punnett square below models the results of a cross between two cats. Both cats are heterozygous for the fur length gene.
One of the squares is missing. What are the alleles missing and what is the trait?
Ff - Short fur

Long ears in rabbits is a dominant trait (E), while short ears is a recessive trait (e). Rabbits with the heterozygous dominant genotype will have which of the following phenotypes?
Long Ears

In genetics, the definition of homozygous is when you inherit the same DNA sequence for a specific gene from each of your biological parents. If you inherit an identical version (allele) of a gene from both of your parents, you're __________ for that gene.
Homozygous

defined as an organism's ability to pass its genetic material to its offspring. Species that are more "fit" can pass on their genes and ensure their survival.

In corn, smooth kernels (K) are dominant to wrinkled kernels (k).
A farmer crosses two corn plants that are heterozygous for kernel texture.
What are the odds that the offspring will have smooth kernels?

Having short fur (S) is dominant to long fur (s). A heterozygous male is crossed with a female with long fur. What percent of the offspring will likely have short fur? What percent will likely have long fur?
Short fur: 50%
Long fur: 50%
