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.

Answer 1

you can also say..... If you know the fur color of the offspring mice, you can use the ratios to identify the genotypes of the parents. or...... If either parent mouse passes a dominant allele, the offspring will have black fur.

Answer 2

In mendelian genetic , allele of each genes from the parents will segregate from each other so the gametes only carry one each.

If the parental mice has two different fur color (i.e white and Black) , the color of the offspring's fur would be either black, white, or the combination of both (Grey)
