| Description: In the cross on the left, a homozygous male with the normal Igf2 allele is crossed to a homozygous female carrying a defective allele, Igf2?. An offspring is phenotypically normal because the paternal allele is expressed. In the cross on the right, a homozygous male carrying the defective allele is crossed to a homozygous normal female. In this case, an offspring is dwarf because the paternal allele is defective and the maternal allele is not expressed.
