Question
The greatest of all mammals is the platypus, sometimes called the duckbilled platypus. Their bills have a
variety of shapes naturally: flat, bowed, rounded and flexible, but the normal appearance is the broad
bill. At the San Diego Zoo Safari Park they have been keeping track of their platypuses, noting the
genetics shown below. The F1 were self-crossed to yield the F2. All original crosses were true breeding.
