Question

genotype: bbee
phenotype: fur and eyes
done

Explanation:

To determine the phenotype from the genotype \( BBee \), we analyze each gene:

  • For the \( B \) gene: \( BB \) is typically associated with a dominant trait (e.g., black fur if \( B \) is for black and \( b \) for brown).
  • For the \( e \) gene: \( ee \) is a recessive genotype (e.g., no pigment in eyes, like white or pink eyes if \( E \) is for pigmented eyes and \( e \) for non - pigmented).

Assuming standard Mendelian inheritance where \( B \) codes for black fur (dominant) and \( e \) codes for non - pigmented (recessive, like white) eyes:

Step 1: Analyze the fur - related gene (\( B \))

The genotype is \( BB \). Since \( B \) is dominant, the fur phenotype associated with \( BB \) (assuming \( B \) is for black fur) will be black fur.

Step 2: Analyze the eye - related gene (\( e \))

The genotype is \( ee \). Since \( e \) is recessive (assuming \( E \) is for pigmented eyes and \( e \) for non - pigmented), the eye phenotype will be non - pigmented (e.g., white) eyes.

Answer:

Black fur and white (or non - pigmented) eyes (the specific terms depend on the trait associations for the genes, but following the dominant - recessive pattern for \( BB \) and \( ee \), the phenotypes are black (from \( BB \)) and white/non - pigmented (from \( ee \)) for fur and eyes respectively).
