Question

31. Clouded leopards are a medium sized, endangered species of cat, living in the very wet cloud forests of Central America. Assume that the light spots (XH) are a dominant, sex-linked trait and that dark spots (Xh) are the recessive counterpart. Suppose as a Conservation Biologist, you are involved in a clouded leopard breeding program. One year you cross a male with dark spots and a female with light spots. She has four cubs and, conveniently, two are male and two are females. One each of the male and female cubs have light spots and one each have dark spots. What is the genotype of the mother? Either show your work or describe how you figured out your answer in sentence format.
