Question
if you crossed two mice with white fur, what distribution of fur color would you expect in the offspring? about 50% black and 50% white about 75% black and 50% white 100% white 100% black justify your answer by filling in the blanks. both parents have white fur. way that this can happen is i both. therefore, both parents pass every offspring. when you combine two of these alleles, the resulting genotype is ; therefore, the resulting offspring have white fur.
Step1: Understand genetic inheritance
If both parents have white - fur and we want to know the offspring's fur - color distribution, we assume white fur is a homozygous trait.
Step2: Determine parental alleles
The only way for both parents with white fur to pass on white - fur to all offspring is if they are homozygous recessive (assuming white is recessive). So both parents are homozygous.
Step3: Analyze offspring genotype
When two homozygous recessive parents are crossed, all offspring will have the same homozygous recessive genotype for white fur.
