You are given three homozygous strains of siamese fighting fish with different phenotypes (blue, red #1, red #2). You make crosses, with the results shown below (reciprocal crosses give the same results).
parents offspring
blue x red #1 all green
blue x red #2 ½ blue ½ green
green F1 x green F1 91 green 29 blue 42 red
What is the genotype of the original red #1 parent
Solution
Answer
R/R;B/B
Since there are only 2 alleles & three phenotypes (blue, red #1, & red #2), we must be dealing with incomplete dominance. So the red #1 parent is homozygous red (RR ) and blue (BB).
