Question

In tigers, a recessive allele of a particular gene causes both an absence of fur pigmentation (a white tiger) and a cross-eyed condition. If two phenotypically normal tigers that are heterozygous at this locus are mated, what percentage of their offspring will be cross-eyed? What percentage of cross-eyed tigers will be white?

Accepted Answer

Hello, everyone here We have a question telling us a recessive allele of a particular gene causes both a white fur and a cross eyed condition and tigers. If a normal tire that is homogeneous at this locus is made with a white cross eyed tiger, what will be the probability of having a normal tire? So we're going to say that normal is capital A. So dominant. So capital a capital A. And we're going to make opponents where And this other tiger has white fur and his cross side. So it will be homo zegas little A. So we have capital a lowercase a capital, a lowercase a capital, a lowercase a capital a lowercase a. So all of our offspring are hetero Ziegenfuss normal. So they are normal even though they carry the gene for having white fur and crossed eyes. So our answer is a 0%. Thank you for watching. Bye.
