Question

In Alaskan Malamute dogs, the allele for dwarfism is recessive (n) to the allele for normal-sized dogs (N). Two normal-sized dogs have three puppies: two are normal-sized and one is dwarf-sized. What is the genotype of each parent? What are the probabilities of the genotypes and phenotypes for puppies in the next litter from the same parent?

Step 1

Since two normal-sized dogs had a dwarf-sized puppy, both parents must be carriers of the dwarfism allele. Therefore, the genotypes of the parents are Nn. Show more…
