1) for big foots, the gene for the length of fur has two alleles. the dominant allele (l) codes long shaggy fur * the recessive allele (l) shorter curly fur. a heterozygous and a homozygous recessive big foot are crossed a. what percentage of offspring would be expected to have long shaggy fur? b. list the genotype(s) of the shaggy furred big foots

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which shows the outcomes of a cross between parents. This cross is very helpful to understand the passing of traits from parents to offsprings.

The cross for the above scenario can be shown as:

       l          l

L     Ll        Ll

l      ll         ll

A. There will a 50% chance that the offsprings will have long shaggy fur. There will be a 50% chance that the offsprings will have shorter curly fur.

B. The genotypes of the offsprings will be Ll and ll.
