That process is mitosis.
Mitosis is a type of cell division in which the parent cell divides to create 2 identical daughter cells with the exact same number of chromosomes and the exact genetic content as the parent cell. I like to think of as a clone.
Make sure you don't get this mixed up with meiosis, which I a type of cell division in which the parent cell divides to create genetically different daughter cells.
Hope this helps!
Answer: All of the offspring are brown. The chances of getting a brown deer is 100%.
Explanation: The buck is homozygous dominant, meaning he has two of the brown (B) allele. The doe is white, and since the allele for a white coat is recessive, it has to have two white (b) alleles.
Set up a Punnett square with BB on one side and bb on the other. The results of this are 4 offspring all with the genotype Bb. Because brown (B) is dominant, all of them are brown.
To find the chance of getting a brown deer, take the number of brown deer (4) and divide it by the total number of outcomes (4). This gets you 4/4 or 1. As a percent, that would equal 100%.
