Q: 1. Look at the male and female dragons on the left. Notice that they both have horns. Can two dragons with horns have a baby dragon with no horns?
A: Yes
Q: 2. Why do you think it can be done?
A: If each parent has Hh to make up their horns, as long as the gametes that are used in fertilization are h, then the baby will have horns.
Q: 3. OK, let's make sure you remember the rule for horns. Here's a little quiz: Which of these genotypes do you think will make a dragon that has horns?
(Choose all that apply.)
A: Hh
HH
Q: 4. Here is one last question about dragons and horns. The picture above shows the chromosomes for a specific dragon, in a slightly different format. Look carefully at …show more content…
Q: 10. In our imaginary dragons, horns are dominant over no-horns. In the real world, animals and people also have dominant and recessive traits. For example, in guinea pigs, black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). Based on what you learned about dragons, do you think it is possible for two black guinea pigs to have a white piglet?
A: Yes

A: Yes
Q: 11. Why?
A: It is possible for two black guinea pigs to create a white guinea pig, because as long as each one has the allele b for white fur and they both pass down b in the gametes that are fertilized, then the baby guinea pig will have white
