Question

6. Assume that in clouded leopards, normal spots (X<sup>N</sup>) are a dominant, sex-linked trait and that dark spots are the recessive counterpart. You cross a male with dark spots and a female with normal spots. She has four cubs and, conveniently, two are male and two female. One each of the male and female cubs have normal spots and one each have dark spots. What is the genotype of the mother? Male dark spots Female normal Fill in offspring genotypes and work backwards to figure out mother's genotype. Copy and paste #6 on a word doc. Print and turn in with study guides prior to taking your lecture test #4 Female Male

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.

20. Clouded leopards are a medium sized, endangered species of cat, living in the very wet cloud forests of Central America. Assume that the normal spots (X^N) are a dominant, sex-linked trait and that dark spots are the recessive counterpart. A male with dark spots and a female with normal spots have four cubs and, conveniently, two are male and two female. One male and one female cub have normal spots and the other two have dark spots. What is the genotype of the mother? Use the Punnett square to support your result.

Clouded leopards are a medium sized, endangered species of cat, living in the very wet cloud forests of Central America. Assume that the normal spots (XN) are a dominant, sex-linked trait and that dark spots are the recessive counterpart. A male with dark spots and a female with normal spots have four cubs and, conveniently, two are male and two female. One male and one female cub have normal spots and the other two have dark spots. What is the genotype of the mother?

00:01 Here in this video we will going to discuss about the clouded lipids that they are small medium size a species of the cat so here we have to make a cross to explain that so that is simply we can take it here the crosses as we have to show here certain kind of genes right so here this is a cross in which this is a dock spot and the other one is normal and even it is a carrier and this one is a now moving further if i will make a gametes here it was to be simple like that and here the gametes are x capital n x small n.
00:45 Now if we will make here the f1 generation, right in f1 generation we can simply make down what, that is first is x n x n...
