L=long nose, l=stubby nose
Two sponges in Bikini Bottom that have long noses just had their first child. They were expecting their child to also have a long nose, but the child actually was born with a stubby nose. How is this possible?
Both parts must be heterozygous (Ll) for the long nose trait and both of them must have passed on the recessive allele (l) to their child.
