Question
For this question, assume that the species is diploid and that the gene in question is NOT on a sex chromosome. In a hypothetical species of rabbit, suppose there is a gene that can cause a rabbit to have floppy ears. This gene has two alleles, denoted "e" and "e+". Rabbits with one or two "e" alleles have ears that stand up straight; rabbits with only "e+" alleles have floppy ears. Suppose that a male rabbit with ears that stand up straight and a female rabbit with floppy ears have one offspring, and that offspring has ears that stand up straight. What is the genotype of the male (the father of the offspring)?
Question 21 options:
his genotype could only be "e+ e"
his genotype could only be "e e"
his genotype could only be "e+ e+"
his genotype could be "e+ e" or "e+ e+"
his genotype could be "e+ e" or "e e"
his genotype could only be "e+ e"
his genotype could only be "e e"
his genotype could only be "e+ e+"
his genotype could be "e+ e" or "e+ e+"
his genotype could be "e+ e" or "e e"
Explanation / Answer
his genotype could only be "e+ e+"
