Question

In dingbats, toenail color may be red, white, or blue. A series of crosses was made to determine the mode of inheritance of toenail color in this species. Three separate crosses, the results of which are given below, were performed using parents that may or may not have been homozygous

Cross 1: Parents= red x blue, F1= All red, F2= 61 white, 236 red and 19 blue

Cross 2: Parents= red x blue, F1=14 white, 32 red and 17 blue

Cross 3: Parents= red x white, F1=35 white, 45 red and 12 blue

a. Explain how toenail color is genetically determined.

b. Give the genotypes of all the dingbats in the above crosses. Use alphabet letters, starting with A, a.

c. Describe a hypothetical metabolic pathway that could explain the inheritance of toenail color in dingbats. The pathway must be consistent with all the data

Explanation / Answer

Hello. We cramster experts have decided not to provide any answer publicly. That is because people are copying from older threads which have public answers. Hence we'll only send the answer after you rate. So please rate a Lifesaver and I'll send the solution to your inbox or email. You've got no other option to get the answer, because no one is going to give you the answer over here. You need not worry as I have the solution ready in my notebook. Hope you rate me :)
