Question

2 determine the phenotype for each genotype using the information provided about spongebob. yellow body color is dominant to blue. yy __ yy yy a round shape is dominant to a square. rr rr rr __

Explanation:

Step1: Recall dominance - recessiveness rule

If an organism has at least one dominant allele, it will show the dominant phenotype.

Step2: Analyze body - color genotypes

For body - color, Y (yellow) is dominant over y (blue). For YY and Yy, since they have the dominant Y allele, the phenotype is yellow. For yy, without the dominant Y allele, the phenotype is blue.

Step3: Analyze shape genotypes

For shape, R (round) is dominant over r (square). For RR and Rr, since they have the dominant R allele, the phenotype is round. For rr, without the dominant R allele, the phenotype is square.

Answer:

YY: Yellow body color; Yy: Yellow body color; yy: Blue body color; RR: Round shape; Rr: Round shape; rr: Square shape
