Question

Q 3 - You are studying a gene that controls ossicone (horn) length in giraffes. The wild-type long- ossicone allele ($$L$$) is dominant to the mutant short-ossicone ($$l$$) allele. However, the $$L$$ allele is only 60% penetrant in both homozygotes and heterozygotes. In a population of giraffes in an African nature preserve, 58 giraffes have a $$LL$$ genotype, 22 have a $$Ll$$ genotype, and 364 have a $$ll$$ genotype. What proportion of offspring would you expect to exhibit the long ossicone phenotype? (1 point)
