Question

Pairs of plain medium-green frogs are mated. In different crosses (with different parent frogs), different results are obtained when, in each case, 500 offspring were counted. Match each outcome to the most likely mode of inheritance. 248 medium green: 130 light green: 122 dark green 281 medium green: 95 light yellow green: 90 light blue green: 34 white 281 green: 188 yellow: 31 white 380 plain frogs: 120 spotted green frogs 2 genes, 4 alleles, epistasis 1 gene, 3 alleles, complete dominance 1 gene, 2 alleles, incomplete dominance 1 genes, 2 alleles, complete dominance 2 genes, 4 alleles, linkage 2 genes, 4 alleles, novel phenotypes

Explanation / Answer

248 Medium green : 130 light green : 122 dark green : 1 Gene, Two alleles, Incompelte dominance
The phenotypic ratio is almost equals to 1:2:1, so the answer is 1 Gene, Two alleles, Incompelte dominance

281 Medium green : 95 light yellow green : 90 Light blue green: 34 white : 2 Genes, 4 alleles, complete dominanace
The phenotypic ratio is almost equals to 9: 3: 3: 1, so the answer is 2 Genes, 4 alleles, complete dominanace

281 Green : 188 Yellow : 31 White : 2 Genes, 4 Alleles, Epistatis
The phenotypic ratio is almost equals to 9:6:1, so the answer is 2 Genes, 4 Alleles, Epistatis

380 Plain frogs : 120 spotted green frogs : 1 gene, 2 alleles, complete dominance
The phenotypic ratio is almost equals to 3:1, so the answer is 1 gene, 2 alleles, complete dominance
