Question

A species of Coral snake has a red, yellow, and black stripe pattern. One gene controls if the stripes are thick or thin. Thin(T) is dominant over thick(t). If two snakes heterozygous for this gene are crossed, what will be the phenotype(s) of their offspring? You may need to use a Punnett square to answer the question.

Answer 1

75% with thin stripes, 25% will have thick stripes

Step-by-step explanation:

A species of Coral snake has a red, yellow, and black stripe pattern. One gene controls if the stripes are thick or thin. Thin(T) is dominant over thick(t). If two snakes heterozygous for this gene are crossed, the phenotype(s) of their offspring wouldn't be even, making the answer, 75% with thin stripes, 25% with thick stripes.
