In northeast Kansas there is a creature know as a wildcat. It comes in three colors, blue, red, and purple. This trait is controlled by a single locus gene with incomplete dominance. A homozygous (BB) individual is blue, a homozygous (bb) individual is red, and a heterozygous (Bb) individual is purple. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the F2 generation?

The questions lacks options which can be as follows:

a. all Bb: all purple

b. 1 BB: 2 Bb: 1 bb, 1 blue: 2 purple: 1 red

c. all Bb, 1 blue: 2 purple: 1 red

d. 1 BB: 2 Bb: 1 bb, 3 blue: 1 red

e. none of the above

Explanation:

The correct answer of this question if a. all Bb: all purple

F2 Generation

F2 Generation means second filial generation which consists of offspring that are produced as a result of F1 parents interbreeding.

the diploid number of chromosomes is sometimes represented by the symbol 2n. for the fruit fly, the diploid number is 8, which can be written as 2n = 8, where n represents twice the number of chromosomes in a sperm or egg cell.
