Map Albinism is a recessive trait that occurs when an animal is unable to produce certain pigments. The picture at bottom left shows an albino gray squirrel. The squirrel pictured is the starred female in the third generation of the pedigree. What is the genotype of this squirrel? gg impossible to determine GG Gg Based on the pedigree, what should be the genotype of squirrel D? impossible to determine Gg gg GG

Solution

1. Genotype of squirrel will be;

gg.

Albinism is arecessive triat, thus both the alleles in the disorder are mutated.

2. Impossible to determine.

Based on the pedigree, the genotype should be either GG or Gg.
