Brown fur vs white fur. Say that the alleles for fur color (brown or white) are written using the letter “B” and “b”. The dominant trait is brown, white fur color represents the recessive trait. If you crossed two homozygous recessive individuals for fur color, what would be the chances of having an offspring with the white phenotype?

If black fur color is controlled by a dominant allele (B) and brown by its recessive allele (b), give the genotypes of the parents and offspring of a cross of a black male with a brown female that produces 1/2 black offspring and 1/2 brown offspring.

In dogs, brown fur color (B) is dominant to white (b). If two heterozygotes mate, what is the probability that their first or second pup will be white?

Fur color is an inherited trait controlled by one pair of alleles where one form is dominant over the other. The fur color is either brown or gray. Two brown animals mate and produce 12 offspring. Three (25 percent) of the offspring produced are gray and nine (75 percent) are brown. Based on the above data answer the follow questions Determine which fur color is dominant and which is recessive. Assign letter symbols for the alleles in your answer.
