A male Chaluadon is homozygous recessive for both crested heads (h) and spotted coloration (c). He is crossed with a female who is homozyous dominant (smooth head and solid color for both traits). What are the genotypes of these exotic reptiles? (male - female)
The male Chaluadon is homozygous recessive for both crested heads (hh) and spotted coloration (cc).
The female is homozygous dominant, meaning she has two copies of the dominant alleles for both traits. Since the traits are smooth head (H) and solid coloration (C), the female's genotype would be HHCC.
Therefore, the genotypes of these exotic reptiles would be:
Male: hhcc
Female: HHCC
