Spider-Man and Spider-Woman are planning to have children in the near future. Spider-Man is able to spin webs (S) and cling to walls (C), whereas Spider-Woman can spin webs but cannot cling to walls. If both of these traits are inherited in a dominant manner (i.e., the dominant trait will always mask the recessive trait), Spider-Man is heterozygous for each trait, and Spider-Woman is heterozygous for the web-spinning trait... What would be the phenotypic ratio of the F1 generation? Please note that: "S" = ability to spin webs; "NS" = cannot spin webs; "C" = ability to cling to walls; and "NC" = cannot cling to walls. a. 2 S/C : 6 S/NC : 6 NS/C : 2 NS/NC b. 4 S/C : 4 S/NC : 4 NS/C: 4 NS/NC c. 8 S/C : 2 S/NC : 2 NS/C : 4 NS/NC d. 6 S/C : 6 S/NC : 2 NS/C : 2 NS/NC e.

Please read the scenario below and answer the question (in bold) that follows:
Spider-Man and Spider-Woman are planning to have children in the near future. Spider-Man is able to spin webs (S) and cling to walls (C), whereas Spider-Woman can spin webs but cannot cling to walls. If both of these traits are inherited in a dominant manner (i.e., the dominant trait will always mask the recessive trait), Spider-Man is heterozygous for each trait, and Spider-Woman is heterozygous for the web-spinning trait...
What would be the
phenotypic ratio of the F1 generation? Please note that: "S" = ability to spin webs; "NS" = cannot spin webs; "C" = ability to cling to walls; and "NC" = cannot cling to walls.a. 2 S/C : 6 S/NC : 6 NS/C : 2 NS/NC
b. 4 S/C : 4 S/NC : 4 NS/C: 4 NS/NC
c. 8 S/C : 2 S/NC : 2 NS/C : 4 NS/NC
d. 6 S/C : 6 S/NC : 2 NS/C : 2 NS/NC
e. None of the above
