A population of beetles in the species Dwayne therock (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 What are all the possible genotypes a red beetle could have? (list them all) What phenotype would a heterozygous female beetle have? 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?  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)
