While doing field work in Madagascar, you discover a new dragonfly species that has either red (R) or clear (r) wings. Initial crosses indicate that R is dominant to r. You perform three crosses using three different sets of red-winged parents with unknown genotype and observe the following data: Cross Phenotypes 72 red-winged, 24 clear-winged 4 red-winged 96 red-winged 1 2 3 What is the most likely genotype for Cross 1?
