2). In bullhead catfishes, the nuclear DNA locus R is a species marker (does not determine species! but is associated with it), the genotype RR indicates the Black bullhead species, while the genotype rr indicates Brown bullhead species. Mitochondrial species markers (mtDNA) are also known for bullheads, allele 1 (e.g., haplotype 1) indicates Black bullhead and allele 2 (e.g., haplotype 2) indicates a Brown bullhead. A female catfish with the genotype Rrand mtDNA haplotype 1 is caught in the Sacramento River, a known hybrid zone, and crossed with a male Brown bullhead in the University freshwater aquarium. Assume maternal inheritance in mtDNA in fish, just like humans. What are the genotypic ratios and haplotypes of the progeny from this cross?
