Coat color is determined by two loci in large cats.Two pink panthers fall in love and produce a large litter of baby panthers with the following phenotypic ratios: 12/16 pink; 3/16 black; and 1/16 white.What might be the genotype of the pink progeny?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phenotypic ratio of the offspring suggests that the two pink panthers were both heterozygous for the coat color loci. Therefore, the best choice(s) for the genotype of the pink progeny would be either A_ B_ or A_ bb. Both of these genotypes would result in a pink coat color phenotype.
