Coat color in mice is incompletely dominant. Yellow and white-colored mice are homozygous, while cream-colored mice are heterozygous. If two cream-colored mice mate, what phenotypic ratio can we expect of their offspring? Please show the solution.
Two black mice were mated and produced 12 black and 4 white offspring. Explain these results, giving the genotypes of parents and progeny.
In cats, black coat color is dominant over gray. A female black cat whose mother is gray mates with a gray male. If this female has a litter of six kittens, what is the probability that three will be black and three will be gray?
