Answer:

Total four genotypes and its frequency

SsWw – 4/16

ssWw- 4/16

Ssww - 4/16

ssww - 4/16

Phenotype –

SsWw – Heterozygous Spotted skin and heterozygous wooled hair

ssWw - Homozygous non-spotted skin and heterozygous wooled hair

Ssww - Heterozygous Spotted skin and Homozygous non -wooled hair

ssww - Homozygous non-spotted skin and Homozygous non -wooled hair

Explanation:

Given -

Allele for spotted skin is "S"

Allele for non-spotted skin is "s"

Allele for Wooly hair is "W"

Allele for non-wooly hair is "w"

Allele "S" is dominant over "s"

And Allele "W" is dominant over "w"

Cross is carried out between heterozygous spotted, non-wooly man and heterozygous wooly-haired, non-spotted woman

Genotype of heterozygous spotted, non-wooly man - Ssww

Genotype of heterozygous wooly-haired, non-spotted woman - ssWw
