Question

A geneticist from an alien planet that prohibits genetic research
brought with him two true-breeding lines of frogs. One frog
line croaks by uttering “rib-it rib-it” and has purple eyes. The
other frog line croaks by muttering “knee-deep knee-deep” and
has green eyes. He mated the two frog lines, producing F1 frogs
that were all utterers with blue eyes. A large F2 generation then
yielded the following ratios:

27/64 blue, utterer
12/64 green, utterer
9/64 blue, mutterer
9/64 purple, utterer
4/64 green, mutterer
3/64 purple, mutterer

Question: Assign gene symbols for all phenotypes, and indicate the genotypes of the P1, F1, and F2 frogs.
