2 Multiple Choice 2.5 points
Manx cats are tailless and when crossed with one another produce on average 1 long-tailed (wild type) cat for every 2 Manx. The M (Manx) allele is lethal in homozygous
condition due to problems arising during development. Thus, a MM genotype is lethal, a Mm cat is Manx (tailless), whereas a mm cat is wild type with a long tail. A population
is composed of Manx and wild-type cats in a 2 Manx: 3 wild-type ratio.
The cats randomly mate and reproduce F1 progeny. What is the frequency of m allele of the F 1 generation?
(1)/(2)
(1)/(3)
