Question

In frost moths, two alleles of one gene determine the character difference of spotted versus striped wings and two alleles of a separate, independent gene determine the character difference of orange wing background versus white wing background. The results for four matings of moth phenotypes are shown below.

		Number of progeny
Mating	Parental Phenotypes	Spotted/orange	Spotted/white	Striped /orange	Striped /white
1	spotted/orange x striped/orange	623	0	637	0
2	spotted/white x striped/orange	0	0	0	712
3	spotted/white x striped/orange	122	131	128	133
4	spotted/orange x striped/white	0	0	430	422

striped= S(dominant)

spotted=s (recessive)

white= W(dominant)

orange=w (recessive)

What are the genotypes of each parent in each cross? If more than one genotype is possible, list the alternative possibilities. (Remember that each mating involves a separate set of parents, so the 4 matings involve 8 separate parents in total).

Mating	Phenotype of Parent # 1	Genotype of Parent #1	Phenotype of Parent #2	Genotype of Parent #2
1	Spotted/orange		Striped/orange
2	Spotted/white		Striped/orange
3	Spotted/white		Striped/orange
4	Spotted/orange		Striped/white
