. For several years, Hans Nachtsheim investigated an inherited anomaly of the white blood cells of rabbits. Thisanomaly, termed the Pelger anomaly, is the arrest ofthe segmentation of the nuclei of certain white cells. Thisanomaly does not appear to seriously burden the rabbits.a. When rabbits showing the Pelger anomaly were matedwith rabbits from a true-breeding normal stock,Nachtsheim counted 217 offspring showing the Pelgeranomaly and 237 normal progeny. What is the geneticbasis of the Pelger anomaly?b. When rabbits with the Pelger anomaly were matedwith each other, Nachtsheim found 223 normal progeny,439 with the Pelger anomaly, and 39 extremely abnormalprogeny. These very abnormal progeny not only haddefective white blood cells, but also showed severedeformities of the skeletal system; almost all of themdied soon after birth. In genetic terms, what do yousuppose these extremely defective rabbits represented?Why were there only 39 of them?c. What additional experimental evidence…
