1) for big foots, the gene for the length of fur has two alleles. the dominant allele (l) codes long shaggy fur * the recessive allele (l) shorter curly fur. a heterozygous and a homozygous recessive big foot are crossed a. what percentage of offspring would be expected to have long shaggy fur? b. list the genotype(s) of the shaggy furred big foots

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which shows the outcomes of a cross between parents. This cross is very helpful to understand the passing of traits from parents to offsprings.

The cross for the above scenario can be shown as:

       l          l

L     Ll        Ll

l      ll         ll

A. There will a 50% chance that the offsprings will have long shaggy fur. There will be a 50% chance that the offsprings will have shorter curly fur.

B. The genotypes of the offsprings will be Ll and ll.

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
