A professor has discovered a previously unknown population of beaver in N. Siberia. Several unusual traits are present in this population of beaver; some individuals have erect ears while others have bent ones. After the Dr. conducted extensive research on this population, he found that (1) it was a sex-linked trait, and (2) the allele for erect ears was dominant to that for bent ears. When the Dr. returned to his lab, he brought back a male beaver with bent ears and a female with erect ears. He allowed these two animals to breed, and over a period of several years they produced a total of 58 offspring; 32 of these were female, while 26 were male. All of the offspring, regardless of sex, had erect ears.
Please help me determine the genotypes of the parents and all of the following offspring. Express the genotypes both symbolically and in words.
