In mice, large ears (E) is dominant to small ears (e). You perform dozens of hybrid crosses for this trait, producing 8545 offspring. What is the expected number of offspring with small ears?

The expected number of offspring with small ears would be 2,136

Monohybrid Cross

Since large ears (E) is dominant over small ears (e) and it is assumed that the hybrid cross involves heterozygous individuals.

                Ee    x    Ee

              EE   Ee   Ee   ee

The proportion of the resulting population would be:

EE and Ee - big ear individuals = 3/4

ee - small ear individuals = 1/4

Hence, out of 8545 offspring, the expected number with small ears would be:

               1/4 x 8545 = 2,136 individuals
