Question

Viper fish resemble transparent eels with overlarge heads and very long, pointy teeth. Additonally some of them can produce biochemical lights along the length of their bodies and some cannot. Also, some have very large eyes while some have almost no eye at all. These two traits are each controlled by single locus genes with the production of lights (L) and large eyes (E) being the dominant alleles for each. Lastly, assume that these genes are linked. A female heterozygous for both traits (the two dominant alleles are on one chromosome and the two recessive are on its homolog in this individual) happens to meet a male that is homozygous dominant for lights and homozygous recessive for eyes.. what are the genotypes of their offpsring

Explanation / Answer

The genotypes of their of offsprings would be:

1. LLEe: Light producing with large eyes

2. LLee: Light producing with almost no eyes

3. LlEe: Light producing with large eyes

4. Llee: Light producing with almost no eyes
