  1. Create a Punnett square and determine the genotypes and phenotypes for the resultant offspring in the following scenario:

A brown cat (ww) is crossed to a cat with white hair (WW)

Expert Solution
Step 1

The physical qualities of an organism that may be observed include the organism's appearance, development, and behaviour. The phenotype of an organism is influenced by its genotype (the set of genes it carries) as well as environmental influences on the genes.
The whole set of heritable genes, or genes that can be passed down from parents to offspring, makes up an organism's genotype. The two alleles inherited for a particular gene are also referred to as genotypes.
