Question

in a group of american curl cats, some individuals have curled ears and others have straight ears. in this group, the gene for the ear type trait has two alleles. the allele for straight ears (e) is recessive to the allele for curled ears (e). sparky is an american curl cat from this group. sparky has the homozygous genotype ee for the ear type gene. based on this information, what is sparkys phenotype for the ear type trait? curled ears straight ears

Explanation:

The allele for straight ears (e) is recessive, and Sparky has the homozygous genotype ee. Recessive traits are expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele. So, with genotype ee, the phenotype (observable trait) should be straight ears.

Answer:

straight ears
