Question

Do you think most traits are inherited the way mouse fur color is? _____ Why do you think this is?

Answer 1

Yes, the given statement is correct.  

When the two traits from each of the parent are inherited, the dominant trait always demonstrates its characteristic even if there is a presence of a recessive trait.  

The dominant and recessive terms illustrate the patterns of inheritance of some kinds of traits. For a recessive allele to generate a recessive phenotype, the individual must exhibit two copies, that is, one from each parent. An individual with one recessive and one dominant allele for a gene will exhibit the dominant phenotype.
