Want to know:
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. You cross two heterozygous giraffes. What proportion of offspring would you expect to exhibit the long ossicone phenotype? Assume the penetrance of L applies equally to both homozygotes and heterozygotes.
