In Alaskan Malamute dogs, an autosomal recessive allele causes a condition in which the cartilage in the front legs fails to develop properly. This results in a type of dwarfism. Dogs with the dominant wild-type allele are of normal height. In the same breed of dogs, there is an autosomal dominant allele that codes for a curled tail and a recessive allele that codes for an uncurled tail. Show the possible genotypes for the offspring of a dog heterozygous for height and tail curl crossed with a dog recessive for both traits. Your answer must include the use of a Punnett square and a legend indicating the allele symbols used.

Question
Transcribed Image Text:In Alaskan Malamute dogs, an autosomal recessive allele
causes a condition in which the cartilage in the front legs
fails to develop properly. This results in a type of
dwarfism. Dogs with the dominant wild-type allele are of
normal height.
In the same breed of dogs, there is an autosomal
dominant allele that codes for a curled tail and a
recessive allele that codes for an uncurled tail.
Show the possible genotypes for the offspring of a
dog heterozygous for height and tail curl crossed
with a dog recessive for both traits. Your answer must
include the use of a Punnett square and a legend
indicating the allele symbols used.
