We are making a hypothetical dog breed: Worgi (wolf, corgi mix). Assume ear length and tail shape in Worgis are each controlled by a single gene and long ears and a curly tail are dominant phenotypes. Alleles and phenotypes for your drawings: L-long ears, l-short ears, C-curly tail and c-straight tail   A. Predict the gametes that a Worgi with long ears and a curly tail will produce if ear length and tail shape are linked traits.  B. Predict the gametes that a Worgi with long ears and a curly tail will produce if ear length and tail shape are unlinked traits.  C. Draw a homologous pair separating during anaphase I. Label the ear length and tail shape gene. Explain why the gametes from part A and B are similar and/or diffferent.
