In hamsters, black fur (B) is dominant over brown fur (b) and long fur (L) is dominant over short fur (l). A black, long furred female whose mother had brown fur and whose father had short fur is mated with a black, short furred male whose father had brown, long fur. What is the probability that the first three offspring will have brown, long fur? What is the probability that the first offspring will have black, long fur? What is the probability that one of the first three offspring will have black, long fur and the other two brown, short fur?

In gerbils, the gene that specifies coat color is sex‑linked and has multiple alleles, as follows: B ‑ black, br ‑ brown, by ‑ yellow, and b ‑ albino. The allele br is incompletely dominant over by, the combination br by giving tan color; otherwise, dominance is in the order given ‑‑ B, br, by, b. (For your information, gerbils are mammals.)
