You just isolated a new strain of mutant mice, and preliminarymating suggest that the new mutant phenotype is not inherited in anautosomal fashion. Circumstantial evidence seems to indicate thatthe mutant phenotype may be following either an X-linked dominantor a mitochondrial-type inheritance pattern.
a.) What two informative crosses would you set up to distinguishbetween these two possibilities?
b.) How would the results distinguish between the twopossibilities?
