Answer:

BB - Dark brown color - (1/4)

Bb - light tan (due to incomplete dominance) - (2/4 or 1/2)

bb - white color - (1/4)

Explanation:

Let the allele for dark brown pigment be represented by "B"

And the let allele for white (no pigment) be represented by "b"

Due to incomplete dominance, the phenotype of heterozygous species would be "light tan"

Genotype of heterozygous female - Bb

Genotype of heterozygous male - Bb

Bb * Bb

BB, Bb, Bb, bb

BB - Dark brown color - (1/4)

Bb - light tan (due to incomplete dominance) - (2/4 or 1/2)

bb - white color - (1/4)

The theory of vitalism has been rejected by present day scientist described by to visit them describe what scientists not think
Furkat [3]

According to the theory of vitalism all the living substances are special and are distinct from the non-living substances, that is, they comprise a unique entity within themselves. This soul or entity distinguishes them from the non-living components.  

However, the theory was rejected when urea was taken out successfully from a non-living matter by Wohler, proving the fact that the biological constituents can be extracted from a non-living source. The modern scientists now believe that the living things are just more composite than the non-living substances.
