Question

In currant moths, their Light color is sex-linked and recessive (d) to dark color (D). What are the

phenotypes and genotypes of the parents if a certain cross yields ½ dark and ½ light colored females

and all dark males? Female moths are heterogametic. Show COMPLETE cross.

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.
