Question

Black eyes are dominant to orange eyes, and green skin is dominant to white skin. A male MendAlien with black eyes and green skin, has a parent with orange eyes and white skin. A female MendAlien with orange eyes and white skin. If these male and female MendAliens were to mate, the predicted phenotypic ratio of their offspring would be _____.

Answer 1

The phenotypic ratio of their offspring would be 1/4 each for black eyes/green skin, black eyes/white skin, orange eyes/green skin, and orange eyes/white skin respectively.

Dihybrid crossing

The male would be heterozygous since he has a parent that is homzygous recessive.

Assuming that eye color is A/a and skin color is B/b.

The genotype of the male would be: AaBb

The genotype of the female would be: aabb

                   AaBb    x    aabb

Progeny

A_B_ = Black eyes, green skin = 1/4

aaB_ = orange eyes, green skin = 1/4

A_abb = black eyes, white skin = 1/4

aabb = 1orange eyes, white skin = /4
