Blue eye color allele (b) is recessive to the dominant to the black eye color allele (B). When we sequence around the locus of the blue gene from 10 pure breed species and 10 black pure breed species we notice difference in dna sequence. The black eye species have short tandem repeat (STR), which is a short DNA sequence that is repeated 6 times in the species with blue eyes, and 10 times in the species with black eyes. These repeats are only 4 cM apart from the orange gene locus. You design a PC test that distinguishes between the 6 and 10 STRs by electrophoresis. Make pedigree that will let us to identify which alleles of the blue gene was the dominant and or recessive?
