when a raccoon with wide tail stripes reproduces with a raccoon with narrow tail stripes, their offspring will have medium tail stripes. A medium tail striped raccoon mates with another raccoon with medium tail stripes. Determine the frequency of the phenotypes.

Answer:

[tex][/tex] If we use a Punnett square to analyze the offspring of a wide tail striped raccoon (genotype Ww) mating with a narrow tail striped raccoon (genotype ww), we would get the following results:

w w

W Ww Ww

w ww ww

We can see that the offspring will all have medium tail stripes (genotype Ww), as they inherit one wide tail stripe allele from the wide tail striped raccoon and one narrow tail stripe allele from the narrow tail striped raccoon.

Now, if two medium tail striped raccoons (genotype Ww) mate, the possible outcomes would be:

w w

W WW Ww

w Ww ww

So,50% of the offspring would have medium tail stripes (genotype Ww) and 50% would have wide tail stripes (genotype WW).

Therefore, the frequency of the phenotypes in the offspring of a medium tail striped raccoon mating with another medium tail striped raccoon would be 50% medium tail stripes and 50% wide tail stripes.
