Question

A solid colored, short-haired female rabbit (ssLL) is mated to a spotted, long-haired

male (SSll). The F1 offspring are allowed to interbreed and 64 offspring are produced.
c) How many will be spotted with long hair?
d) How many will be solid-colored and short-haired?

Answer 1

Spotted with long hair⇒ 12

Solid colored and short hair⇒ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Both genotypes are homozygote type. So, they will produce only one type of gamete from each. that are sL and Sl.

The genotype of F1 offspring will SsLl ( spotted short hair, heterozygote)

when F1 offsprings are interbreeded four types of phenotype are produced.

they are

1. spotted short haired ⇒
   `(36)/(64)` (dominant type)
2. spotted long hair ⇒
   `(12)/(64)`
3. solid colored short hair⇒
   `(12)/(64)`
4. solid colored long hair⇒
   `(4)/(64)`
