Transcribed Image Text:

In snorlaxes (a mythical creature in the Pokemon world), the purple gene is responsible for pigmentation. The purple allele p gives snorlaxes a purple colored body and is recessive to the wildtype allele (p) which yields a blue body color. Another gene narcolepsy, determines how sleepy the snorlaxes are. The narcolepsy allele (ny) leads to extreme sleepiness in snorlaxes and is recessive to the wildtype allele (ny), which leads to the snorlax being wide awake. A heterozygous female, with mutant alleles in the coupling (cis) conformation, is test crossed to a male homozygous recessive for both genes. The two genes are approximately 22 m.u. apart. What proportion of the progeny would be expected to be purple and wide awake? 022% 78% 39% O 11% In snorlaxes (a mythical creature in the Pokemon world), the purple gene is responsible for pigmentation.
