1. A new species of animal called the rekamriliob has been found in the wild. The lab you work in has been tasked with studying its genetics. So far, there have been 2 main phenotypes found in the wild. Through selective breeding, your lab has determined that the gene for purple color (P) is dominant to the gene for golden color (p). Another lab has determined that the thick limb trait is dominant to the thin limb variety. If you breed a purebred purple thick limbed rekamreliob male with a golden thin limbed female, you get 100% thick limed offspring that are purple in color. If you take two of these organisms and breed them together, please predict the following. Assume that rekameliobs lay an average of 32 eggs. The gametes produced if the genes are unlinked b. genes The expected numbers of the possible phenotype in the offspring with unlinked The gametes produced if the genes are linked (list all possibilities, and show which ones are the result of crossing over) d. List the phenotypes that would be expected to be the most common if the genes are linked
