In rats, kinky hairs and long nose whiskers are produced in response to the recessive gene (k), and a short stubby tail is produced by the recessive gene (st). The 2 loci of are 30 CM apart. What is the probability that in a cross between a heterozygous trans female rat and a heterozygous cis male rat, a combination of 2 wild: 1 wild, short tail: 1 wild, kinky hair: 1 kinky hair, short tail pups will be found in a litter of 5.
