[OPTIONS](A) straight fur (B) wavy fur	straight fur	Briar's genotype for the fur texture gene is FF. Briar's genotype of FF has only F allelles. The F allele is for straight fur. So, Briar's phenotype for the fur texture trait must be straight fur. To check this answer, consider whether Briar's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for wavy fur (f) is recessive to the allele for straight fur (F). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele. Briar's genotype of FF has two dominant alleles. An organism with at least one dominant allele for a gene will have the dominant allele's version of the trait. So, Briar's phenotype for the fur texture trait must be straight fur.	false

	[QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with green body feathers to offspring with blue body feathers? Choose the most likely ratio.	[OPTIONS](A) 2:2 (B) 0:4 (C) 1:3 (D) 3:1 (E) 4:0	2:2	To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with green body feathers or blue body feathers, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the body feather color trait. The question tells you that the b allele, which is for blue body feathers, is recessive to the B allele, which is for green body feathers. Green body feathers is the dominant allele's version of the body feather color trait. A budgerigar parakeet with the dominant version of the body feather color trait must have at least one dominant allele for the body feather color gene. So, offspring with green body feathers must have the genotype BB or Bb. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype BB or Bb. These boxes are highlighted below. Blue body feathers is the recessive allele's version of the body feather color trait. A budgerigar parakeet with the recessive version of the body feather color trait must have only recessive alleles for the body feather color gene. So, offspring with blue body feathers must have the genotype bb. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype bb. These boxes are highlighted below. So, the expected ratio of offspring with green body feathers to offspring with blue body feathers is 2:2. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 2 offspring with green body feathers for every 2 offspring with blue body feathers.	false

[QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Briar's phenotype for the fur texture trait?

[OPTIONS](A) straight fur (B) wavy fur

straight fur

Briar's genotype for the fur texture gene is FF. Briar's genotype of FF has only F allelles. The F allele is for straight fur. So, Briar's phenotype for the fur texture trait must be straight fur. To check this answer, consider whether Briar's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for wavy fur (f) is recessive to the allele for straight fur (F). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele. Briar's genotype of FF has two dominant alleles. An organism with at least one dominant allele for a gene will have the dominant allele's version of the trait. So, Briar's phenotype for the fur texture trait must be straight fur.

[QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with green body feathers to offspring with blue body feathers? Choose the most likely ratio.

[OPTIONS](A) 2:2 (B) 0:4 (C) 1:3 (D) 3:1 (E) 4:0

2:2

To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with green body feathers or blue body feathers, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the body feather color trait. The question tells you that the b allele, which is for blue body feathers, is recessive to the B allele, which is for green body feathers. Green body feathers is the dominant allele's version of the body feather color trait. A budgerigar parakeet with the dominant version of the body feather color trait must have at least one dominant allele for the body feather color gene. So, offspring with green body feathers must have the genotype BB or Bb. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype BB or Bb. These boxes are highlighted below. Blue body feathers is the recessive allele's version of the body feather color trait. A budgerigar parakeet with the recessive version of the body feather color trait must have only recessive alleles for the body feather color gene. So, offspring with blue body feathers must have the genotype bb. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype bb. These boxes are highlighted below. So, the expected ratio of offspring with green body feathers to offspring with blue body feathers is 2:2. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 2 offspring with green body feathers for every 2 offspring with blue body feathers.
