For those of you who actually read the posts, try this question:

A certain lethal mutation in a gene located on autosome 3 causes the recessive homozygote to naturally abort in utero. (Assume A is dominant over a.)

[1] This condition would result from a cross between parents with what genotype(s)?
[2] These parents together can produce offspring having what other genotypes?
[3] What is the ratio(s) of the offsprings' phenotypes? Hint: There are two possible types of phenotypic ratios depending on which type of dominance you take into account.

Enjoy!
