Title: How can I determine how many Genetic Loci control a specific trait?
Post by: Willmob12 on Mar 20, 2017
So I have a question about finding how many loci control a certain trait. I don't know how to determine it.

The info: (Disregard any outside info retaining to the specific animal)

Pure-bred male White Cat mated with a Pure-bred female Brown Cat.
They produced 90 progeny ALL Brown.
Randomly interbreeding F1, they produced 1600 F2 progeny.
900 White Cats
700 Brown Cats


So just from this information how can I tell how many genetic loci control the color?
Thanks
