3) A genetics engineer was attempting to cross a tiger and a cheetah. She crossed 150 tigers and cheetahs. Based on prior research she expected that 25% of the animals would have a phenotypic outcome of stripes only: 25% would have 3 spots only: and 50% would have both stripes and spots. When the cross was performed and she counted the individual cubs she found 45 with stripes only, 41 with spots only and 64 with both.
