A sex-influenced trait is dominant in males and causes bushy tails. The same trait is recessive in females. Fur color is not sex influenced. Yellow fur is dominant to white fur. A true-breeding female with a bushy tail and yellow fur was crossed to a white male without a bushy tail (i.e., a normal tail). The F, females were then crossed to whi,te males without bushy tails. The following results were obtained:
Males Females
28 normal tails, yellow................................. 102 normal tails, yellow
72 normal tails, white................................... 96 normal tails, white
68 bushy tails, yellow................................... 0 bushy tails, yellow
29 bushy tails, white.................................... 0 bushy tails, white
