In snakes, toxic skin (T) is dominantly inherited. Snakes with non-toxic sk homozygous recessive. Skin color in snake is an example of epistasis, w are dominant to gold scales, which are recessive. A second gene E dete be deposited to the scales. If snakes are "ee," then no color will be depos will be white (known as albino). A snake that is heterozygous for toxic skin, black scales, and the E gene snake that is TTbbEe. a) What is the probability that their offspring will be heterozygous for all b) What is the probability that their offspring will have (toxic skin / gold s toxic skin / white scales)?

5. In snakes, toxic skin (T) is dominantly inherited. Snakes with non-toxic skin are
homozygous recessive. Skin color in snake is an example of epistasis, where black scales
are dominant to gold scales, which are recessive. A second gene E determines if color will
be deposited to the scales. If snakes are "ee," then no color will be deposited and snakes
will be white (known as albino).
A snake that is heterozygous for toxic skin, black scales, and the E gene is mated with a
snake that is TTbbEe.
a) What is the probability that their offspring will be heterozygous for all traits?
b) What is the probability that their offspring will have (toxic skin / gold scales) OR (non-
toxic skin / white scales)?
