Question

can you do question 8

The next two questions go together.
Suppose the tail length of two populations of lizards is controlled by one gene. To determine the
mode of inheritance, a true-breeding short-tailed female is crossed with a true-breeding long-tailed
male. Then, siblings from the F1 are crossed and the number of short- and long-tailed animals are
counted to determine the phenotype ratio.

autosomal gene, and long tails are dominant to short tails?
1 long: 1 short
males 1 long: 1 short, females all short
