4.

Stuart Snail is heterozygous for tall eyeballs. Sally Snail has tall eyeballs but does carry the recessive allele. What are the chances that their baby snail would have short eyeballs?

a)

75%

b)

50%

c)

25%

0%

5.

Stuart Snail is heterozygous for tall eyeballs. Sally Snail has tall eyeballs but does carry the recessive allele. If their baby snail has tall eyeballs then what is/are the possible genotype(s) he could have?

a)

TT

tt

6.

Gary Goldfish is heterozygous for dark orange color. Ginny Goldfish is homozygous dominant. Their baby has light orange color. Is Gary the father?

a)

Yes, because the light orange color is dominant

b)

No, because there is no way they could produce a homozygous recessive baby

c)

Yes, because Ginny has two alleles for light orange color, so their baby could be light orange

d)

No, because Gary does not have the allele for light color.
