3. A cross in dogs is made between a normal coated Australian shepherd individual (on the left of image) and a double merle coated Australian Shepherd (on the right of the image). The resulting F1 have a merle coat see the image in the middle. This is different from a double merle. If F1 merle dogs are then crossed with one another, the resulting puppies are normal coats, merle coats, and double merle. What do these results indicate about the genotypes of normal, merle and double merle individuals? Explain the relationships for the alleles underlying the traits. 3.
