Carrion beetles lay their eggs in dead animals and then bury them in the ground until they hatch. Assume the preference for meat (F) is dominant to the preference for rotted meat and that the tendency to bury the meat shallow (S) is dominant to the tendency to bury the meat deep. Suppose a female carrion beetle homozygous dominant for both traits mates with a male homozygous recessive for both traits.
What would be the genotype of the F1 generation?
What would be the phenotype of the F1 generation?
If two F1's are crossed what would be the genotypic ratio of the F2 generation (FFSS: FFSs: FfSS: FfSs: FFss: Ffss: ffSS: ffSs: ffs)?
what would be the phenotypic ratio of this F2 generation?
