8. The diagram shows the offspring resulting from the mating of a male
bird with a long beak and a short beaked female. What is the most likely
genotype of the parental birds in the illustration? A LI XLI B LI X II C LL X LID
LL xll *

Offspring:
L - long beak (dominant)
I = short beak (recessive)

Answer 1

Well the male bird is a dominant (long beak) and the female is a recessive(small beak.) we can assume that the female birds genotype is ii and the male birds genotype is LL or Li. When it comes to the offspring we can assume that the offspring would have a long beak. The offspring would either have the dominant (father) genes.
