Question

use your knowledge of mendelian genetics to write a hypothesis that answers the lab question, \what is the effect of the genes of the parental mice on the fur color of the offspring mice?\ be sure to use the \if... then... \ format.

Explanation:

Mendelian genetics states that traits are determined by genes passed from parents to offspring. The fur - color gene is one such trait. If the parental mice have dominant genes for a particular fur color, then the offspring mice are likely to have that fur color because dominant genes are more likely to be expressed in the phenotype.

Answer:

If the parental mice have dominant genes for a certain fur color, then the offspring mice will have that fur color.
