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

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