5. Some dogs bark while trailing, others are silent. The barking trait is due to a dominant gene. Erect ears are dominant to drooping ears. What kind of pups would be expected from a double heterozygous erecteared, barker mated to a droopedeared, silent trailer?
Gene B controls the barking ability; gene E controls ear shape. Let B be the dominant allele for the barking trait. Let b be the recessive allele for the silent trait. Let E be the dominant for erect ears. Let e be the recessive allele for drooping ears.
