The shape of a heliodor is an X-linked trait. Male heliodors inherit two X chromosomes, while the females inherit an X and a Y chromosome. The recessive allele codes for the common bell-shape while the dominant phenotype is a round shape U. Hudson is a round male and has offspring with Heidi, a bell-shaped female. They already have one daughter, Hannah, who is shaped like her mother. In the heliodor population you will find: fewer bell-shaped males than females. the same amount of bell-shaped males as females. more bell-shaped males than females.
