The a allele of a locus determining body size is a recessive,lethal and sex-linked trait. The a allele promotes a medium bodysize through incomplete dominance with the A allele. Individualswith the AA genotype have very large size. A separate autosomallocus exhibits recessive epistasis to the lethality of the a allele. At this autosomal locus, the B allele is dominant to the b alleleto determine a black coat color as opposed to a brown coat.If arabbit with a medium body size and black coat (heterozygous) ismated witha male with a very small body size and a brown coat, howmany offspring of 30 would have a very small body size?
My work:
Body size:
XAXA - > large
XAXa -> medium
XaXa - > very small
Coat Color:
BB - > black
Bb - > black
bb - > brown
Cross:
black coat (hetero) medium sized female x brown coat and verysmall male
XAXaBb x XaYbb
XAxa -> 0.25 Bb -> 0.50
xaxa -> 0.25 bb -> 0.50
xAy -> 0.25
XaY -> 0.25
