Homework SourseTrocanian Sea Lions on the planet Peskus have whisker length
Trocanian Sea Lions, on the planet Peskus, have whisker length determined by two unlinked loci, labeled A and B. A partial set of two-locus genotypes and their corresponding whisker lengths is presented in the table below. What is the whisker length of a Sea Lion with the two-locus genotype AABb?
Trocanian Sea Lion Whisker Length As Computed By Two-Locus Genotype
A. 5.
B. 3.
C. 1.
D. 2.
E. 4.
| Locus 01 Genotype | Locus 02 Genotype | Whisker Length | ||
| A | A | b | b | 2 |
| A | a | B | B | 4 |
| A | a | B | b | 2 |
| A | a | b | b | 1 |
| a | a | B | B | 2 |
| a | a | B | b | 1 |
| A | A | B | B | 5 |
Solution
Answer: B). 3
AA genotype gives 2
Bb genotype gives 1
So, the genotype AABb gives 3
AABb= 2+1=3
