In goats, a recessive gene causes the goats to "faint" when they are startled. A farmer breeds two goats (that

have never fainted) and their first offspring faints two days after its birth. What must the parent's genotypes
have been? Show the cross to prove it.

Answer:

In goats, a recessive gene causes the goats to "faint" when they are startled. A farmer breeds two goats (that have never fainted) and their first offspring faints two days after its birth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dehydration is the most common cause of fainting in children. Not drinking enough fluids also reduces blood volume and lowers blood pressure. Standing still for a long time in one place. This can cause the blood to pool in the legs because of gravity or standing up quickly.Because the "tester" individual makes one known type of gamete, the ratios of phenotypes among the progeny of the cross indicate the type and frequencies of gametes made by the individual with the unknown genotype. Once you know the gametes that this individual produces, you can "reconstruct" the individual's genotype.
