Question

1. cat - like eyes (e) are dominant to round eyes (e). cross a mom monster who is homozygous for round eyes with a dad monster who has homozygous alleles for cat eyes.

a. what phenotype(s) do the offspring have?

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the genotypes of parents

The mom monster is homozygous for round eyes, so her genotype is \(ee\). The dad monster is homozygous for cat - like eyes, so his genotype is \(EE\).

Step2: Use Punnett square or genetic cross principles

When \(ee\times EE\), all offspring will have the genotype \(Ee\).

Step3: Determine the phenotype from the genotype

Since \(E\) (cat - like eyes) is dominant over \(e\) (round eyes), the phenotype of \(Ee\) is cat - like eyes.

Answer:

All offspring have cat - like eyes.
