An ecologist has been following three single gene traits in laboratory breeding experiments of frogs. Texture and Color of the skin and the extent of webbing between the digits. The dominant traits in each case are Warts (vs smooth), Red (vs green) and Webbed (no-webbing). Wild type frogs have smooth, green skin with webbed feet. We want to breed a frog that has all three mutant phenotypes. Cross 1 – We made a dihybrid frog by crossing an inbred color mutant with an inbred texture mutant. Cross 2 - We crossed this dihybrid with an inbred non-webbed mutant. Question: What is the phenotype and genotype of the dihybrid she made in cross 1, consider all three loci. For the genotype, use genetic nomenclature that is consistent with dominance and the mutant phenotype.
