An insect can be brown (BB), tan (Bb), or white (bb). Their eyes may be red (RR or Rr) or cream (rr). ?

An insect can be brown (BB), tan (Bb), or white (bb). Their eyes may be red (RR or Rr) or cream (rr). The genes are not linked. A brown male with cream eyes is crossed with a tan female with heterozygous red eyes. What type and proportion of offspring would be expected?An insect can be brown (BB), tan (Bb), or white (bb). Their eyes may be red (RR or Rr) or cream (rr). ?
1: BB, brown - rr cream


2: BB, brown - Rr, red


3: Bb tan - rr, cream


4: Bb tan - Rr, redAn insect can be brown (BB), tan (Bb), or white (bb). Their eyes may be red (RR or Rr) or cream (rr). ?
If you make a box chart for each of the crossings, you will be able to see the ratio aspect.


The brown male, BB and the tan female, Bb will give the options of BB, BB, Bb, BB for the color





The eyes then are going to be Rr, and rr, work it out.


You understand the Hetero zygous and Homozygous terms for the eyes right? Heterozygous means that Rr. So it also tells you that the R is the dominant gene for the color.





The aspect of not being linked means that the body color does not restrict or rely upon the eye color.


When will the horror of fruit fly experiments end?!? ;}
100% brown chance %26amp;100% chance of red eyes
Do a punnet square!
