question 13

Multiple Choice

Some snail species' shells can have right-handed direction of shell coiling or left-handed direction of shell coiling. The direction of coiling depends on a protein deposited by the mother in the egg cytoplasm with DD and Dd mothers depositing a protein that directs right-handed direction of coiling in shells. If Dd egg-producing snail and a dd sperm-producing snail mate what genotype(s) and phenotype(s) of offspring will result?

• A) 1/2 Dd:1/2 dd; all right-coiling
• B) all Dd; all right-coiling
• C) 1/2 Dd: 1/2 dd; half right-coiling and half left-coiling
• D) all Dd; half right-coiling and half left-coiling
