In dolphins, to have spots on the skin is a recessive trait. One spotted dolphin and one solid gray dolphin have a baby spotted dolphin. Go through the following steps to figure out the genotype of the parent dolphins. 1) what is the genotype of the spotted (recessive) parent?

the spotted parent has the genotype ss

Explanation:

we will use s as the letter when describing the spotted trait.

since spotted is recessive, that parents have to have two little s to have the trait. Since the child also has that, we know that they will have the genotype ss.  the child would have to get a little s from both parents, so the solid parent would have Ss, showing as solid, but still having the gene for spots.

coconut why: has water in it : )

i dont know this but ask your teacher for !
