If two giraffes were crossed, where one is heterozygous for albinism (a) and the other has a homozygous dominant genotype, what would be the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios?
a) 1 AA: 2Aa: 1aa; 3 pigmented: 2 albino
b) 2 AA: 2 Aa: 0 aa; all pigmented
c) 0 AA: 0 Aa: 1 aa; all albino
d) 2 AA: 0 Aa: 0 aa; all pigmented
e) 2 AA: 2 Aa: 0 aa; 4 pigmented: 2 albino
a) 1 AA: 2Aa: 1aa; 3 pigmented: 2 albino
b) 2 AA: 2 Aa: 0 aa; all pigmented
c) 0 AA: 0 Aa: 1 aa; all albino
d) 2 AA: 0 Aa: 0 aa; all pigmented
e) 2 AA: 2 Aa: 0 aa; 4 pigmented: 2 albino

The answer is B, because if you cross them, the results are AA, AA, Aa, and Aa.

Did you know that giraffes many times get only 20 minutes of sleep in 24 hours!. They may get up to 2 hours in 24 hours but never at one time! Sorry I don't know anything about genetics , but all I remember was some monk discovering it in his vegetable garden- beans I think. Good Luck! 42
