Chapter 12, Problem 3S
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The outcome of the cross of yellow mice and to test the hypothesis.
Introduction:
Lethal genes or alleles are the genes that can cause death of an organism if present in the homozygous condition (i.e., both alleles of the individual are identical lethal alleles). In the given case, when yellow mice were crossed, there were two yellow mice and only one black mouse.
