Scalloped (sd) is an X linked recessive and ebony (e) is an autosomal recessive mutation. What proportion of scalloped, ebony females (relative to whole population) is expected in the F2 starting with a true breeding scalloped female which is wile type for ebony mating with a true breeding male mutant only for ebony. PLEASE break this down step by step and simplify it please. All I know is the answer is 1/16... no idea how to get it.
In above it is explained how 1/16 of scalloped ebony females are produced in F2 generation if a true breeding scalloped female with wild type ebony is crossed with a true breeding male mutant only for ebony.
