Answer:
Ll
Explanation:
If lizard feet trait is governed by one gene, let it be represented by L.
Since the offspring showed the trait in 3 : 1 ratio ( 75% lizard-footed and 25% normal-footed), it follows the Mendelian laws of inheritance. According to it, a monohybrid cross gives 3 : 1 ratio in F2 generation. This is possible when both the parents are heterozygous. Here,
If parents are heterozygous lizard-footed (Ll):
L l
L LL Ll
l Ll ll
75% of offspring will have lizard feet since they have at least one dominant L allele. 25% of offspring will have normal feet because they have only recessive alleles (ll). Hence, it can be stated that genotype of both the lizard-footed parents is Ll.
