Name You discover that red is not sex-linked. You decide you want to mate a red male to 30 carrier females, with the goal of producing more carriers. To see if the matings are worth the cost, you determine the probability of producing 18 heterozygous progeny and 12 red progeny. Seeing how the probability of getting 18 heterozygotes was low, you instead decide you want to implement a negative assortative mating strategy based on coat color with the goal of increasing heterozygosity. You separate the males from the females, and then select which females to mate with the males. To determine the effect of this mating strategy, you calculate the predicted gene and genotypic frequencies in the progeny.
