A geneticist crossed pure breeding black mice with pure breeding brown mice. All the 992 mice in F1 generation had black coats.

Answer/Explanation:

The pure breeding (homozygous) black mice are crossed with pure breeding (homozygous) brown mice. The F1 offspring are all black. A punnett square is shown, with B representing the black allele, and b representing the brown allele. The cross is therefore BB x bb

The offspring are 100% heterozygous black (Bb)

Crossing two F1 heterozygous black mice (Bb x Bb) to give the F2 generation. The genotypes are 1 BB: 2 Bb: 1 bb. Therefore, the genotypes are 3 black : 1 brown.

This accounts for the real ratios shown in the F2 generation (992:317 is roughly 3:1
