Answer:

A mutation in the DNA sequence of the gene for brown fur  

Explanation:

The mutations are capable of changing the encoded protein product, in this case the gene that encodes for the fur color pigment. This mutation may have occurred during mitosis or meiosis divisions.

If it is a spontaneous mutation that occurred in the germinal line (meiosis) and confers an adaptive advantage, it will increase their frequency in the population.

How can two parents who show the dominant trait have offspring who shows the recessive trait? Give an example to support your an
natta225 [31]

Answer:

One example of a recessive inherited trait is a smooth chin, as opposed to a dominant cleft chin. Let (S) represent the dominant allele, and (s) represent the recessive allele. Only (ss) individuals will express a smooth chin. To determine the probability of inheritance of a smooth chin (or any other recessive trait), the genotypes of the parents must be considered. If one parent is heterozygous (Ss) and the other is homozygous recessive (ss), then half of their offspring will have a smooth chin.
