**4. Inheritance of Spotting Patterns in Leopard Frogs**

J. A. Moore investigated the inheritance of spotting patterns in leopard frogs. The pipiens phenotype had the normal spots that give leopard frogs their name. In contrast, the burnsi phenotype lacked spots on its back. Moore carried out the following cross, producing the progeny indicated.

- **Parent phenotypes:** burnsi × burnsi
- **Progeny phenotypes:** 39 burnsi, 6 pipiens

**a. Question**

What are the likely genotypes of the two parents? Be sure to specify the dominant and the recessive trait.

**b. Question**

Use a chi-square test to evaluate the fit of the observed numbers of progeny to the number expected on the basis of your proposed genotypes.
