Question

In a group of jaguars, some individuals have a black coat and others have a spotted coat. In this group, the gene for the coat pattern trait has two alleles. The allele A is for a black coat, and the allele a is for a spotted coat.

Oracle, a jaguar from this group, has a black coat. Oracle has one allele for a black coat and one allele for a spotted coat.

Answer 1

mark me brilliant

Step-by-step explanation:

If Oracle has one allele for a black coat and one allele for a spotted coat, then the genotype of Oracle would be heterozygous. This can be represented as Aa, where A represents the allele for a black coat and a represents the allele for a spotted coat. Because the allele for a black coat is dominant over the allele for a spotted coat, the phenotype of Oracle would be black.
