You are studying loppins (fictitious but useful invertebrates)and are interested in the inheritance of the colorful dots on their abdomen.You notice that some loppins have no dots,some have green dots,some have orange dots,and some have a mixture of orange and green dots.
a)The first thing you notice is that it's relatively easy to obtain lines that breed true for the absence of dots,for the presence of orange dots only,or for the presence of green dots only,but it seems impossible to get pure-breeding loppins that have both green and orange dots.Every time that you cross two green-and-orange-dotted individuals,you obtain an F1 comprised of about 50% green-and-orange-dotted,25% orange-dotted,and 25% green-dotted individuals.
What do you conclude? Explain your reasoning and use appropriate symbols to indicate the genotypes of the various individuals.
b)How could you determine genetically whether or not the "no dots" phenotype is allelic to "green dots," "orange dots," and "orange-and-green dots"? Outline the crosses that you would set up as well as the expected results if "no dots" was allelic versus if it was not allelic to the other phenotypes.
