Problem:
In aliens, a glossy exoskeleton (G) is dominant to a dull exoskeleton (g).Also, excessive drooling (D) is dominant to no drooling (d). An alien drone (male) with a glossy exoskeleton and excessive drooling is crossed with an alien queen that is homozygous recessive for both traits. The following offspring were produced: 432 glossy and excessively drooling, 453 dull and excessively drooling.
Required:
Question 1: What is the phenotypic ratio for the cross?
Question 2: What is the genotype of the alien drone (male)?
Question 3: What do we call this type of cross?
Question 4: Draw the Punnett square to support your answer for (b).
Briefly describe your answers.
