1) Imagine you discover a new mutant strain of tailless mice. Upon looking closer, you notice that I is only the females who are tailless. In paired matings with tailless females crossed with normalmales, you find that the progeny are always recovered in the following ratios: 1/3 tailless females, 1/3 normal females, 1/3 normal males. a)What is the most likely genotype of the tailless mice? b) Provide a simple explanation for the ratio: 1/3 tailless females, 1/3 normal females, 1/3 normal males.
