Question 1

(Multiple Choice)

Free
You are studying body color in an African spider and have found that it is controlled by a single gene with four alleles: B (brown), br (red), bg (green), and by (yellow). B is dominant to all the other alleles, and by is recessive to all the other alleles. The bg allele is dominant to by but recessive to br. You cross a pure-breeding brown spider with a pure-breeding green spider.
-Predict the genotype of the progeny.

A) B/bg
B) Br/bg
C) br/by
D) by/bg
E) B/by
