Manx cats have no tail. This is caused by a dominant mutation M, which is embryo lethal when homozygous. An unlinked gene B controls the color of the fur on the cat's tail. The dominant B allele produces black fur on tails, while the recessive allele b produces white fur on tails. A Manx cat that is B/B is crossed to a white-tailed cat. Half of the F1 progeny had the Manx phenotype and the other half had normal, black tails. The F1 cats with the Manx phenotype were crossed to each other, producing F2 cats. What is the ratio of the following phenotypes in the F2

Manx cats have no tail. This is caused by a dominant
mutation M, which is embryo lethal when homozygous. An unlinked gene B controls the color of the fur on
the cat's tail. The dominant B allele produces black fur on tails, while the recessive allele b produces
white fur on tails. A Manx cat that is B/B is crossed to a white-tailed cat. Half of the F1 progeny had
the Manx phenotype and the other half had normal, black tails.
The F1 cats with the Manx phenotype were crossed to each other, producing F2 cats. What is the ratio
