They are made of protein and one molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). As the genetic material passes from parents to child, the chromosomes are responsible for containing the instructions that make the offspring unique while still carrying traits from the parent.
Answer:
C. An approximately three-to-one ratio of black to brown coated mice in F2 is accounted for by the black allele being dominant over the brown allele
Explanation:
Assuming the black genotype is BB and the brown genotype is bb.
At F1:
BB x bb = All Bb (black)
At F2:
Bb x Bb = BB (black), 2Bb (Black), bb (brown)
Th ratio of black to brown is 3:1
961 black : 317 brown is approximately 3:1.
Hence, the correct option is C.
