Question

raccoons may have wide, medium-sized, or narrow bands around their tails. They may also have
the habit of washing all, or some of their food, or do not wash their food at all.

a) assign genotypes to the phenotypes mentioned (see attached table)

b. What mode of inheritance would most likely be exhibited by these traits if crosses were made?

c. If two raccoons with medium-sized tail bands and have the habit of washing some of their
foods will be crossed, what is the probability of having F1 raccoons with:

c.1 wide tail bands that won’t wash any of their food? 
c.2 the same genotype as the parent raccoons? 

d. If a raccoon with a wide tail band that washes only some of its food is crossed with a raccoon
with a narrow tail band that doesn’t wash any food, what percentage of their offspring would
be medium-tailed and washes all its food? Show COMPLETE cross.
