In cats with the Manx trait, the dominant M allele causes a short of absent tail, whereas the recessive m allele confers a normal,long tail. Cats of genotype MM die as embryos, If two Manx cats mate, what is the probabilty the each living kitten has a long tail
-
1/4 will die, 1/2 will be Manx, and 1/4 will have regular tails.
-
Manx genotype must be heterozygous (Mm)
Mm x Mm mating gives you.... 1 MM : 2 Mm : 1 mm
since mm gives long tail the probability of getting mm is 1/4 since it is 1 of 4 possibilities
Mm x Mm mating gives you.... 1 MM : 2 Mm : 1 mm
since mm gives long tail the probability of getting mm is 1/4 since it is 1 of 4 possibilities
