A species of Coral snake has a red, yellow and black stripe pattern. One
gene controls if the stripes are thick or thin. Thin (T) is dominant over
thick (t). If two snakes heterozygous for this gene are crossed, what will
be the genotype(s) of their offspring? You may need to use a Punnett
square to answer the question.

OA. TT and Tt
B. TT, Tt, and tt
C. TT and tt
D. All Tt

B . , because I remember this

The genetic attributes of the organism are determined by the genotype. The cross of the heterozygous genes in Coral snakes results in offsprings with TT, Tt, and tt. Thus, option B is correct.

What are genes?

Genes are the functional and physical basis of the inheritance that passes from generation to offspring with various traits and attributes. The gene contains a recessive and a dominant allele.

Heterozygous genes are represented as Tt as it contains one dominant and one recessive allele. The cross between the two heterozygous (Tt) Coral snakes is attached to the image below.

From the cross, it can be seen that 75 % of the coral snakes have thin strips while the 25 % of the species have thick strips. The ratios are:

Genotype = 1 : 2 : 1

Phenotype = 1 : 3

Therefore, option b. the genotype(s) of the offspring will be TT, Tt, and tt.
