n the Asiatic Black Bear (a normal XX:XY mammal XX: species) there are two traits under investigation. One trait is a white chest spot which can be either circular (+) or oval (ov).  The second trait relates to the fur color with two phenotypes: black (+) and a reddish brown (b).  A reddish brown female with a circular chest spot was crossed to a black male also with a circular chest spot.  Use this information and the data below on their offspring to answer the following questions:                 Males:  All reddish brown colored with 75% circular spot and 25% oval spot.                 Females: All black colored with 75% circular spot and 25% oval spot a)  Which general type of chromosome does each trait reside on?       Fur color gene ________________     Chest spot gene __________­­­­­_______ b)  What are the genotypes of the two individuals that were crossed? c)  What would the phenotypes and phenotypic ratio be if the original female was crossed with a reddish brown male with an oval chest spot?

Question

n the Asiatic Black Bear (a normal XX:XY mammal XX: species) there are two traits under investigation. One trait is a white chest spot which can be either circular (+) or oval (ov).  The second trait relates to the fur color with two phenotypes: black (+) and a reddish brown (b).  A reddish brown female with a circular chest spot was crossed to a black male also with a circular chest spot.  Use this information and the data below on their offspring to answer the following questions:

                Males:  All reddish brown colored with 75% circular spot and 25% oval spot.

                Females: All black colored with 75% circular spot and 25% oval spot

a)  Which general type of chromosome does each trait reside on?

      Fur color gene ________________     Chest spot gene __________­­­­­_______

b)  What are the genotypes of the two individuals that were crossed?

c)  What would the phenotypes and phenotypic ratio be if the original female was crossed with a reddish brown male with an oval chest spot?
