With asexual reproduction, the only way genetic variation can be introduced is from...

mutations

500

A trait that is hidden in a cross between two individuals but can show in the offspring.

How many alleles does a parent provide the offspring for a particular trait?

1 Each

The polled (no horns) gene for cattle is dominant meaning an animal with a CAPITAL P is going to have no horns and a homozygous recessive (pp) animal is going to have horns. If you crossed a heterozygous polled bull with a homozygous recessive cow, what would percent chance the offspring would be horned?

50%
