A maternal effect can cause the offspring phenotype ratio to depart from that of classic Mendelian inheritance. In a species of moth, the dominant allele N codes for brown eyes and recessive allele n codes for red eyes.
If an Nn female with brown eyes mates with an Nn male, what is the eye color phenotypic ratio of their offspring?

Dr. kaylan is an ecologist who studies bird behavior. she sets up an experiment to test which type of food crows are most likely to eat when given a choice between walnuts, corn, and sunflower seeds. to perform her experiment, dr. kaylan places three food bins in an area frequented by cows. each bin contains one of the three food types. then, she measures how much of each food type is eaten every day for a month and summarizes the results of her experiment in the pie chart below. based on her results, dr. kaylan concludes that crows choose to eat corn more frequently than other food sources because it has a higher nutritional value. what is a reasonable alternate conclusion that can be drawn from dr. kaylan's data

Many farmers prefer cattle without horns because it is safer for their herds. the allele for no horns (n) is dominant to the allele for the presence of horns (n). a farmer mates a male with horns to a heterozygous female without horns. what is the chance that the offspring will have horns?
