Melanophores are small pigments that are present in the dermis layer of the skin of a shark. They impart a gray color to the dorsal and lateral surface area of the shark. They help in background adaptation and countershading of the body, which makes a shark difficult to be seen.

In maize, a dominant allele A is necessary for seed color, as opposed to colorless (a). Another gene has a recessive allele wx t

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).

Explanation:

A (colored seed) is dominant over a (colorless)
Wx (normal starch) is dominant over wx (waxy)

Both loci are independent.

A Aa WxWx individual was test crossed (crossed with a homozygous recessive aa wxwx individual).

The homozygous recessive can only produce a wx gametes.
The dihybrid individual can produce two types of gametes, all of them with the same frequency because the genes segregate independently: 1/2 A Wx and 1/2 a Wx

The possible offspring resulting from the combination of those gametes is:

1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).
