Question asked by Filo student

Point: You think that the dreaded Sparky phenotype is due to a single sex-linked gene. Suppose a Sparky female is crossed to a Satan male, and only Satan offspring are seen. Conversely, when the same Sparky female is crossed to a Sparky male, only Sparky offspring are seen. Are these results consistent with sex linkage (why or why not)? Assume females are the homogametic sex.
