Scenario part 2
• A population of beetles in the species Dwayne therock (I made this up) are living
in a rotting log in a forest.
• In these beetles, color is controlled by 1 gene.
• There are two alleles - R for Red and r for orange.
• These beetles have sex chromosomes like humans. Males are XY, females are
XX.
• this is an x-linked trait
Questions part 2

B. What phenotype would a heterozygous female beetle have?
C. If a male with no R alleles and a female with 1 of each allele had offspring,
what are the chances (in %) of having an orange beetle offspring?
D. If a male with no R alleles and a female with 1 of each allele had offspring,
what are all the possible genotypes of their offspring? (list them all)
