The Genetics of Shell Coiling

Can Two Snail Kings Also Have Right-Handed Offspring?

				In the solution to the previously asked question, this time four germ cells are dis- played for the left snail. This heterozygous snail of course can produce egg cells as well as sperm cells with the allele L or the allele R.
RL	LL	LL		The result is clearly visible: The left (heterozygous) snail king may have a certain number of right handed offspring, which would be impossible in a normal dominant- recessive pattern of heredity, where both snail kings could only inherit the allele L.
