Ralph wants to breed his bulldogs. for dominant alleles, he has selected small ears (e) and curly tail (t). linus the male dog is homozygous dominant for both traits. lucy the female is heterozygous dominant for both a.) what are lucy and linus genotypes? b.) what % of there pups will have small ears (e) and curly tails (t)? c.) what % of there pups will have large ears (e) and straight tails (t) ?

a)

Linus has genotype EETT

Lucy has genotype EeTt

b) % of the pups will have small ears (E) and curly tails (T)

c) % of the pups will have large ears (e) and straight tails (t)

Explanation:

Given -

E represents the dominant trait for small ears

T represents the dominant for curly tails

e represents the recessive trait for large ears

t represents the recessive trait for curly tails

a)

Linus has genotype EETT

Lucy has genotype EeTt

b)

ETETETET

Allele for EETT – ET, ET, ET, ET

Allele for  EeTt – ET, Et, eT, et

The genotype for pups with small ears (E) and curly tails (T) is

EETT, EeTt, EETt, EeTT

Number of pups with genotype EETT ,  EeTt , EETt, EeTT are 16

% of the pups will have small ears (E) and curly tails (T)

c)

None of the pups will have large ears (e) and straight tails (t)

Thus, % of the pups will have large ears (e) and straight tails (t)

hormones in blood stream

endocrine glands secrete hormones into the blood stream near them; the hormones then travel in our bloodstream until it reaches its destination, called a target cell, in distance parts of the body. in the target tissue, hormones lock onto the target’s plasma membrane, called the receptor site.

nucleus

would be most reasonable answer tbh
