When true-breeding mice with brown fur and short tails (BBtt) were crossed to true-breeding mice with white fur and long tails (bbTT), all the F1 offspring had brown fur and long tails. The F1 offspring were then crossed to mice with white fur and short tails (bbtt). The fur gene and the tail length gene are 7 cM apart.

d) White fur, long tail
e) Brown fur, short tail
Part b
Using the information given in Part a, if there were 400 mice in the F2 generation, how many do you expect would have white fur and long tails?
a) 25
b) 186
c) 14

75% parental and 25% recombinant gametes
100% parental and 0% recombinant gametes

A cross was made between AAbb and aaBB individuals to produce AaBb F1 offspring. The F1 offspring were then crossed to aabb individuals to yield an F2 generation.
