Question

Erma and Harvey were a compatible barnyard pair, but a curious
sight. Harvey’s tail was only 6 cm long, while Erma’s was 30 cm.
Their F1 piglet offspring all grew tails that were 18 cm. When
inbred, an F2 generation resulted in many piglets (Erma and
Harvey’s grandpigs), whose tails ranged in 4-cm intervals from
6 to 30 cm (6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, and 30). Most had 18-cm tails,
while 1/64 had 6-cm tails and 1/64 had 30-cm tails.

 

Que: If one of the 18-cm F1 pigs is mated with one of the 6-cm
F2 pigs, what phenotypic ratio would be predicted if many
offspring resulted? Diagram the cross.
