**Incomplete Dominance:** These alleles do not show dominance or recessiveness. The heterozygous individual will produce a phenotype that is intermediate to both the homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive.7. An armadillo with a normal tail length (long) is mated with a tailless armadillo and all of the offspring are short tailed. When two short-tailed armadillos are mated with each other it results in a 1:2:1 ratio of normal tail length: short-tailed: tailless armadillos. a. What is the genotype for a long-tailed armadillo? b. What is the genotype for a short-tailed armadillo? c. What is the genotype for a tailless armadillo? d. What phenotypic ratio would you expect if a normal-tailed armadillo was mated with a short-tailed armadillo? e. What phenotypic ratio would you expect if a short-tailed armadillo was mated with a tailless armadillo?

Incomplete Dominance is a phenomenon where none of the alleles show dominance or recessiveness. Instead, an intermediate phenotype comes into existence, which is intermediate to both the homozygous dominant and the homozygous recessive. In the case provided here, let us assume that the allele for normal tail length (long) is 'T', and the allele for no tail (tailless) is 't'. So, the cross between a normal tail length armadillo with that of a tailless armadillo gives rise to offspring with short tail length (Tt). The cross between two short-tailed armadillos resulted in a 1:2:1 ratio of normal tail length : short-tailed : tailless armadillos. A) The genotype for a long-tailed armadillo is TT. B) The genotype for a short-tailed armadillo is Tt. C) The genotype for a tailless armadillo is tt. D) Cross between normal tailed armadillo with short-tailed armadillo - TT x Tt Punnett Square - Male/Female T T T TT (normal) TT (normal) t Tt (short) Tt (short) So, the phenotypic ratio here would be 2 : 2 for normal tailed armadillo : short-tailed armadillo. E) Cross between short-tailed armadillo and tailless armadillo - Tt x tt Punnett Square - Male/Female T t t Tt (short-tailed) tt (tailless) t Tt (short-tailed) tt (tailless) So, the phenotypic ratio here would be 2 : 2 for short-tailed armadillo : tailless armadillo.
