Base your answer on ALL of the following information. When she crossed homozygous brown males with homozygous blue females, the F1 progeny consisted of 47 blue males and 43 brown females. When these fish were intercrossed, the F2 progeny consisted of 33 blue males, 12 brown males, 10 blue females, and 37 brown females.
When she performed the reciprocal cross, the F1 progeny consisted of 37 blue males and 39 brown females. When these individuals were intercrossed, the F2 progeny consisted of 63 blue males, 19 brown males, 22 blue females, and 59 brown females. What type of trait is this?
