Labrador Retreivers come in three main colors: yellow, black, and chocolate brown. THe black color is dominant (BB). Yellow (ee) and brown (bb) are both recessive. However, yellow is recessive epistatic. This means that yellow will mask both brown and black colors. Based on this information what color will a labrador be if the genotype is (BBee)?

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
