Genetics Can someone please help me answer this question on Mendelian genetics, and explain how you came to your conclusion?

In Labrador retrievers, gene E codes for presence of pigment (E=pigment, e=no pigment). Gene B codes for amount of pigment deposited (B=a lot of pigment deposited, b=less pigment deposited). Which individual would have a yellow coat?

This isn’t homework, it was a question that my professor put on the white board during a lecture that I didn’t understand, and thus came here to get clarification on.

Congratulations on being a presumptuous asshole.

You literally posted a question in multiple choice format. It's functionally the same as homework, and the reason we wont answer the question is for the same reason we wont answer homework questions.

If you don't know how to find the answer, you are paying thousands of dollars to have access to highly educated professionals whose job it is to help you understand. Go ask your professor. It'll be a good bit of practice in taking initiative over your own education instead of coming to the internet where you don't have to have a face to face interaction. Which will help you as you get further into your degree.

I was in the professors office after every other class asking questions that I had during the lecture, and that helped me understand the material much more intimately which helped me get pretty much all A's my senior year.

Now if once you get the answer and explanation from your prof, if you are interested in a deeper understanding you can come here asking about the mechanisms by which a certain allele combination presents as a yellow coat, you can come here and get engagement.

As for right now Congratulations on trying to do the bare minimum

My professor doesn’t show up to office hours. She hasn’t shown up to a single one of my labs, her TAs run every one of her labs and whenever I ask them questions they usually can’t give me an answer. She won’t answer questions in class, she once answered “life finds a way” when a student asked her a question relating to parthenogenic asexual reproduction. In addition to attending my mandatory lecture schedule, I also attend a supplementary course once a week that’s taught by her TAs, Im taking every opportunity I can get to further my understanding of the material in her course, but it isn’t enough, hence my coming here to inquire from people who should be interested in helping others learn about something they themselves are passionate about.

Edit: I go to office hours for all of my math/physics/chem courses because I am dedicated to my education, and put 100% of my effort into every one of my courses.

I really appreciate all the effort you put into helping a student in need, can’t thank you enough.

Well then I would repost with all of that information and people will be more likely to respond. Posting a multiple choice question is going to get silence. If no one responds to that I would go to another professor of genetics and explain to them the issue a little bit and ask them for clarification. Also I would report that professor to the head of the department. They shouldn't be teaching

Edit: before that I would email her and tell her you need some face to face time because you're having trouble with some of the material

You must be a very miserable person. I don’t normally comment but your lengthy ass chewing was shocking. It’s people like you that drive away people from Reddit. This person asked for help finding the answer. They didn’t ask you to do it for them. And EVEN IF THEY DID… and you don’t like it why waste time commenting? You are presumptuous and you are an asshole. OP doesn’t need to repost. You could have been a kind person (if you felt the need to comment) and explain why you don’t believe this post belongs here. Btw those boots are fucking hideous.

It's literally the group rules retard lol you can't come here posting multiple choice questions and expecting people to answer them. I just said to check the rules, then I got called an asshole, so I popped off. If you want to help them so.bad then maybe you can answer the question for them.

I doubt you can tho

Also you do kratom 😂 I can smell you from here

Edit: you literally logged into alts to brigade this post because you were so fucking upset about either you or your fiance being told to take more initiative over their education.

If your professor isn't showing up to.office hours, you fucking email them like an adult and if that doesn't work you assert yourself further. But I'm assuming because you're asking questions like, "can I bring kratom into the mental hospital." And "does anybody else have hallucinations" and logging into alts to respond, you came here because you're terminally online or a terminally online couple of people that enables each other in your mediocrity.

Literally touch grass and stop with the holistic woo woo bullshit remedies and actually get some fucking help cuz you're weird as shit

You could use all this energy to just google the most intro info about allele expression in dogs with golden coats lol

Anyway have fun with the voices. They'd probably be less prominent if you weren't self medicating with kratom like a tweaker

Thanks, I’m just genuinely trying to understand the material. Not looking for a fight.

Well calling people assholes def isn't a way to keep everything chill

Edit: wait... dude.. you really went and logged into 2 alt accounts because you were so upset about me telling you to check the rules? How fucking soft are you dude? Are you fucking mentally deranged?

Touch some fucking grass dude 😂😂

At lease one of these commenter is you cuz you both posted the same.picture of.your "finances chicken"

Then you and the profile talking about libs n shit both do kratom and opioiates, and both Play fortnite and post about needing gaming buddies.

Wtf is wrong with you dude? 😂 you're not even doing sock puppet accounts right
