Hello I drew the punet squares and I got the blue ratios but I don't know what to do with the ratios . thank you
Mendelian Genetics 1. In werewolves long hair and black spots are produced by two dominant alleles L and S that assort independently Animals that are homozgous II have short hair and those that are ss have a uniform black color (no spots). If male II Ss werewolves mated with female LI Ss werewolves the progeny phenotypes will be in the following proportions: A. 9 Long hair spots: 3 Short Hair spots: 3 Long hair solid: 1 Short hair solid B. 1Long hair spots: 1 Short Hair spots: 1 Long hair solid: 1 Short hair solid C. 3 Long hair spots: 3 Short Hair spots: 1 Long hair solid: 1 Short hair solid D. 3 Long hair spots: 1 Short Hair spots: 3 Long hair solid: 1 Short hair solid E. Long hair spots: 3 Short Hair spots: 1 Long hair solid: 3 Short hair solid Either draw the 4 x 4 punnet square and count, or use the shortcut (½ long, ½ short) x (3/4 sport, ¼ solid) 2. The gene L determines hair length in rabbits. The gene B determines hair color. A rabbit with long, black hair is crossExplanation / Answer
Yes, the Punnet square would give you the answer mentioned in option: C.
Male gametes: lS ls
Female gametes: LS Ls lS ls
The progeny would result in 3 Long hair, spots : 3 Short hair, spots : 1 Long hair, soild : 1 Short hair, solid, as you have deduced after drawing the Punnet square.
This very well shows that the genes / alleles are either located on different chromosomes, or could be located far off from each other on the same chromosome. So that they independently assort themselves during Meosis 1.
