hey guys, need a little help here. didnt really know where to post it hehe. i'm going for my bio exam in like 6 hours and i was going over some questions from pervious exams and i was hoping you could help me with one of them.
A cat displays the dominant phenotype of two separate traits: large ears and fluffy tail (recessive of those traits are small ears and hairless tail). You wish to know the genotype of this cat. Describe what menas you would use to determine the genotype of this cat and show the possible results of your cross.
my answer is to breed it with a homozygous recessive cat(eett) and check for the f1 offspring. which will either be all big ears w/ fluffy tail(EeTt) if the unkown kat was homozygous dominant(EETT), or it will result in 4 different phenotypes in the f1 offspring(EeTt,Eett,eetT,eett) if the unkown cat was heterozygous(EeTt)
hopefuly some ofyou still remember your bio lol. thanks!!!
