Need help, please. **Title: Investigating Maternal Effect Genes in Snail Coiling****Overview:**This educational resource explores the genetic basis of snail shell coiling, specifically focusing on the maternal effect gene. In these snails, the direction of coiling is dictated by genetic factors: 'D' represents the dextral (right-handed) dominant allele, while 'd' indicates the sinistral (left-handed) recessive allele.**Instructions:**Analyze the following genetic crosses to determine the genotype and phenotype ratios of the progeny. In each cross, the genotype of the female is listed first, and the genotype of the male second.**Crosses and Results:**1. **Cross 1: Dd (female) x Dd (male)** - Progeny Genotype(s) (include ratios): __________ - Progeny Phenotype(s) (include ratios): __________2. **Cross 2: dd (female) x Dd (male)** - Progeny Genotype(s) (include ratios): __________ - Progeny Phenotype(s) (include ratios): __________3. **Cross 3: Dd (female) x DD (male)** - Progeny Genotype(s) (include ratios): __________ - Progeny Phenotype(s) (include ratios): __________4. **Cross 4: Dd (female) x dd (male)** - Progeny Genotype(s) (include ratios): __________ - Progeny Phenotype(s) (include ratios): __________**Conclusion:**Fill in the blanks for each cross to understand how the maternal effect gene influences phenotypic outcomes in snail shell coiling. Consider how dominance and recessiveness affect these outcomes in relation to maternal inheritance patterns. **Note:**Remember, although genotypic ratios provide the foundation, phenotype expression depends significantly on the maternal genotype due to its effect on the developmental environment.
