Question

The remaining questions go together. In a species of collared lizard (Crotaphytus collaris), long tail (T) is dominant to short tail (t), and green scalation (G) is dominant to brown scalation (g). Both tail length and scale color are autosomal traits. But green scalation is a x-linked"-limited trait only expressed in males – females have brown scales regardless of G/g genotype. In addition, T is a recessive lethal allele – TT homozygotes do not develop.

A long-tailed brown male mates with a long-tailed brown female. Their first two viable offspring are a short-tailed green male a long-tailed brown male.

What is the genotype of the father?       ["", "", "", "", ""] 

What is the genotype of the mother?       ["", "", "", "", ""] 

What is the genotype of the short-tailed green male?       ["", "", "", "", ""] 

What is the genotype of the long-tailed brown male?
