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.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
In mice, there is a yellow strain that when crossed yields 2 yellow:1 black. How could you explain this observation?
How can the product rule be used to predict the results of crosses in which multiple genes are studied simultaneously?
In making genetic crosses, why is it important to identify the gametes that each individual can contribute?
