Question
n a population of koi fish, some individuals have red eyes and others have black eyes. The gene for eye color has two possible alleles. One allele is for red eyes (E), and the other allele is for black eyes (e).A certain koi fish in the population has the genotype ee for the eye color trait.Given this information, what phenotype does this koi fish have for the eye color trait?Choose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A) black eyesAblack eyes(Choice B) red eyesBred eyes
Solution
To determine the phenotype of the koi fish with the genotype "ee" for the eye color trait, we need to understand the relationship between the alleles.
- The gene for eye color has two alleles: E (red eyes) and e (black eyes).
- The genotype "ee" means that the koi fish has two copies of the allele for black eyes.
Since the allele "e" is responsible for black eyes and the fish has two copies of this allele, the phenotype will be black eyes.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
(Choice A) black eyes

A group of scientists is studying a certain species of fish. Previous genetic analysis has shown that eye color in this species is controlled by a single gene that has two alleles: a dominant allele ( ) that is associated with red eyes, and a recessive allele ( ) that is associated with black eyes.The scientists collected data about a population of these fish to help determine the population’s eye color allele frequencies. They found that out of fish in the population, fish had black eyes.Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which of the following is the number of fish in the population that have the genotype ?
