Using the punnet square (di-hybrid cross) solve the following:

In a certain breed of dog, the dominant, B, is required for black fur; and it’s recessive, b, produces brown fur. However, the dominant, I is the epistatic gene to the color locus and can inhibit pigment formation.  The epistatic recessive allele, i, on the other hand, permits pigment deposition in the fur.  
     -Cross the following parents:     bbIi x BBIi

1st Question to answer ---- How many different possible genotypes are there among the offspring?

2nd Question to answer ---- How many of the offspring could be black?

3rd Question to answer ---- How many of the offspring could be brown?

4th Question to answer ---- How many of the offspring could be albino (white)?
