If two doubly-heterozygous Cookie-monster blue-haired muppets mate, and produce 3200 children, which of the follow values most closely represents the expected number of Elmo red-haired offspring? The answer allows for random variation in hair color. A. 1536 B. 672 C. 1242 D. 200 E. 549
On the planet Kermit, in the Muppet population, there are two autosomal loci of interest. The first locus has alleles A and a, and the second locus has alleles B and b. A and B are the dominant alleles at the respective loci. The loci act in an epistatic manner, identical to the way two genes interact to produce coat color in labradors. The
