Chapter 14, Problem 10TYU

To determine: Whether the curl allele is dominant or recessive in the first curl cat.

Summary Introduction

Concept introduction:

Genes have alternate forms known as alleles, which are transmitted to the offspring. If the offspring receives the same phenotypic traits of the parents, then it is known as true-breeding. If the two alleles are different, then there is a hybrid at F1 generation. The dominant allele out of the two alleles expresses itself and determines the phenotype. In F1 individuals, two different alleles segregate into gametes. During self-fertilization, the gametes unite randomly thereby having a chance for recessive allele to be expressed in the homozygous state at F2 generation.
