Key Concept What determines the expression of traits?

Directions: The ozmox is a fictional creature with a variety of traits. Study the list of ozmox alleles for the seven
traits below. Then look at the genotypes of a particular ozmox named Glork. Using that information, write Glork’s
phenotype for each trait on the lines provided.

Ozmox alleles: Hair—shaggy (S); short-haired (s) Nose—orange (O); green (o) Tail—long (L); stubby (l) Teeth—pointed (P); rounded (p) Claws—curved (C); straight (c) Eyes—red (R); blue (r) Ears—big (B); small (b) Glork’s genotypes: Ss, oo, LL, Pp, cc, rr, BB
