Question

1. what is the sex of your baby reptilobird?

below is a list of characters and the genes that code for them. write out the genotype of your reptilobird

1. eye color g gg or gg - green; gg - red
2. leg length a aa - long (4cm); aa - short (1cm); aa - medium (2cm)
3. wing length d dd or dd - short (2cm); dd - long (6cm)
4. number of tail feathers t tt - 3; tt - 2; tt - 1
5. beak shape e ee or ee - straight; ee - curved;
6. color vision x^ec x^ec - see colors (dominant); x^ec - color blind
7. what is the genotype of your zygote for genotype? remember genotype is the allele make - up

eye color
leg length
wing length
number of tail feathers
beak shape
color vision

1. describe the phenotype of your reptilobird. remember that the phenotype is the characteristics that you can actually see.

eye color
leg length
wing length
number of tail feathers
beak shape
color vision

1. do you think everyone reptilobird looks the same?
2. what three things gives the reptilobird their variation?

using your chromosomes from your baby reptilobird, dr on the body frame prc - - - - in the sheets, write your nar card rept

Explanation:

1. Without further genetic or observable - based information, the sex of the baby reptilobird cannot be determined.
2. Since no information about the alleles inherited for each trait is given, the genotype for each characteristic (eye color, leg length, wing length, number of tail feathers, beak shape, color vision) cannot be written.
3. Without knowing the genotype and observing the actual reptilobird, the phenotype for each characteristic cannot be described.
4. Reptilobirds likely do not all look the same because of genetic variation. Different combinations of alleles for various traits (such as eye color, leg length etc.) can lead to different phenotypes.
5. Genetic mutations, sexual reproduction (which shuffles alleles through meiosis and fertilization), and environmental factors can contribute to the variation in reptilobirds.

Answer:

1. Cannot be determined
2. Cannot be determined
3. Cannot be determined
4. No
5. Genetic mutations, sexual reproduction, environmental factors
