Genetic Studies of an Animal Show That Eye Color Is

Question 18

Multiple Choice

Genetic studies of an animal show that eye color is controlled by an autosomal gene with the dominant allele ( R ) for red eye color and the recessive allele ( r ) for yellow eye color. A second autosomal gene has the dominant allele ( T ) for paws with thumbs and the recessive allele ( t ) for paws without thumbs. The genetic cross RRTT x rrtt creates offspring with genotype RrTt . One of those dihybrids is mated in a testcross ( RrTt x rrtt ) . If the two genes are completely linked (no recombination occurs between them) , then the testcross should produce offspring with the phenotype ratio ____.


A) 3 red-eyed with thumbs : 1 yellow-eyed without thumbs.
B) 1 red-eyed with thumbs : 1 yellow-eyed with thumbs: 1 red-eyed without thumbs: 1 yellow-eyed without thumbs.
C) 1 red-eyed with thumbs : 1 yellow-eyed without thumbs.
D) 9 red-eyed with thumbs : 3 yellow-eyed with thumbs: 3 red-eyed without thumbs: 1 yellow-eyed without thumbs.
E) 1 yellow-eyed with thumbs : 1 red-eyed without thumbs.
