Clouded leopards are a medium sized, endangered species of cat, living in the very wet cloud forests of Central America. Assume that the normal spots (XN) are a dominant, sex linked trait and that dark spots are the recessive counterpart. Suppose as a Conservation Biologist, you are involved in a clouded leopard breeding program. One year you cross a male with dark spots and a female with normal spots. She has four cubs and, conveniently, two are males and two females. One male and one female cub have normal spots and one each have dark spots. What is the genotype of the mother? Suppose a few years later, you cross the female cub that has normal spots with a male that also has normal spots. How many of each genotype will be found in the cubs (assume 4)? Will any of the cubs from this latest cross have dark spots?
