Clouded leopards are a medium sized, endangered species of cat, living in the very wet cloud forests of Central America. Assume that the normal spots (XN)are a dominant, sex-linked trait and that dark spots are the recessivecounterpart. Suppose as a Conservation Biologist, you are involved in a clouded leopard breeding program. One year you cross a male with dark spots and a female with normal spots. She has four cubs and, conveniently, two are male and two female. One each of the male and female cubs have normal spots and one each have dark spots. What is the genotypeof the mother? 2. Assuming that after a few years, you cross the female cub that has normal spots with a male that also has normal spots. How many of each genotypewill be found in the cubs (suppose 4)
