Question

In Lymnaea, a Dd dextrally coiled snail and a Dd sinistrally coiled snail were crossed, as shown in Figure 9-11.

a)

What are the phenotypes of the offspring?

What are the phenotypes of the offspring?

unknown

b)

If the Dd dextral produced only eggs and the Dd sinistral produced only sperm, what offspring phenotypes would result?

dextral sinistral 3 dextral : 1 sinistral

unknown

b)

If the Dd dextral produced only eggs and the Dd sinistral produced only sperm, what offspring phenotypes would result?

sinistral unknown dextral 3 dextral : 1 sinistral Generation I dextral DD Cross- fertilization Degg X d sperm dextral Generation II Self fertilization Generation I DD Dd Dd dd All dextral Self-fertilization Generation IV sinistral dextral dd sinistral D sperm x degg sinistral dd All dextral dextral sinistral Pearson Education, Inc.

Explanation / Answer
