In a population of weasels, black (R) is the dominant color and white (W) is the other dominant trait. In weasels, fur color follows a pattern of codominance. The heterozygous genotype produces black and white spotted weasels. Consider the genetic cross shown in Punnett square. If there are 60 baby weasels born as a result of the cross, how many should be spotted?

Respuesta :

Well, you don't specify the parent traits, so I'll just do one for each...

If both parents areĀ homozygous RR, then all 60 of the babies will be black

If both parents areĀ homozygous WW, then all 60 of the babies will be whiteĀ 

If both parents areĀ heterozygous RW, then there will be 15 black babies, 15 white babies, and 30 spotted babies.Ā 

If one parent isĀ homozygous RRĀ and one isĀ homozygous WW, then all of the babies will be spotted

If one parent isĀ homozygous RRĀ and one isĀ heterozygous RW, then 30 of the babies will be black, and 30 will be spotted

If one parent isĀ homozygous WWĀ and one isĀ heterozygous RW, then 30 of the babies will be white, and 30 will be spotted.Ā

60
