Deaf puppies genotype(s)? Of the hearing puppies only, how many are expected to be homozygous for this trait (use a Punnett Square to solve).

Question

5) Because of extensive inbreeding, pure-bred dogs are afflicted with many genetic disorders. Most of these disorders are recessive. For example, deafness is a recessive genetic disorder affecting many breeds of dogs, especially Dalmations. Two hearing Dalmations when bred together produced 12 hearting puppies and 4 deaf puppies. What are the genotypes of all the dogs?

  • Parents’ genotype(s)?
  • Hearing puppies’ genotypes (multiple answers)?
  • Deaf puppies genotype(s)?
  • Of the hearing puppies only, how many are expected to be homozygous for this trait (use a Punnett Square to solve).
