Question

On a camping trip, you find one male snail on a deserted
island that coils to the right. However, in this same area, you
find several shells (not containing living snails) that coil to
the left. Therefore, you conclude that you are not certain of
the genotype of this male snail. On a different island, you find
a large colony of snails of the same species. All of these snails
coil to the right, and every snail shell that you find on this
second island coils to the right. With regard to the maternal
effect gene that determines coiling pattern, how would you
determine the genotype of the male snail that you found on
the deserted island? In your answer, describe your expected
results
