5) In a species of frog the gene for color shows codominance. Frogs that are black and frogs that are yellow are homozygous. Frog with one black allele and one yellow allele are black and yellow (i.e. their skin is black with yellow spots). For each of the following construct a Punnett square and give phenotypic and genotypes and the ratios of the offspring. 4 points a) a yellow frog mates with a black frog b) a yellow frog mates with a black and yellow frog (i.e. black frog with yellow spots) c) a black frog mates with a black and yellow frog (i.e. black frog with yellow spots) d) two black and yellow frogs

Step 1
We'll use "B" for black and "Y" for yellow. a) Yellow frog mates with black frog: Yellow frog is homozygous, so its genotype is YY. Black frog is also homozygous, so its genotype is BB. Punnett square: | | B | B | |---|----|----| | Y | BY | BY | | Y | BY | Show more…

In frogs, skin color is controlled by incomplete dominance. The two alleles are yellow (Y) and blue (y). The heterozygous genotype is expressed as green. Use your scratch paper. Draw a Punnett square to determine all the possible offspring for the following problem. A frog that has green skin color is crossed with a frog that has green skin color. Part A. What is the genotype ratio for the offspring? Part B. What is the phenotype ratio for the offspring?
