In northeast kansas there is a creature know as a wildcat. it comes in three colors, blue, red, and purple. this trait is controlled by a single locus gene with incomplete dominance. a homozygous (bb) individual is blue, a homozygous (bb) individual is red, and a heterozygous (bb) individual is purple. what would be the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a blue wildcat were crossed with a red one

Respuesta :

Answer:

The genotype would be bb and the phenotype would be purple.

Explanation:

It wouldn't be red or blue because those genotypes are homozygous. Which means everything s the same. One purple wildcat offspring would have a purple father and mother. But since a blue and red wildcat are mating that makes the genotype heterozygous. Which would be purple.

Incomplete dominance occurs when both the alleles of the genes at a specific locus are characterized partly.

This type of dominance occurs when neither of the alleles is entirely recessive nor dominant.

The allele for the blue trait is purebred dominant (BB)

 

The allele for the red colour trait is purebred recessive (bb)

 

The allele for the purple colour is heterozygous (Bb)

 

The genotypes and phenotype of the offspring of a blue wildcat crossed with a red cat can be determined with the help of Punnett square. The image of Punnett square is attached below.

Therefore, the genotype of the offspring will be Bb.

The phenotype of the wild cat will be Purple.
