Explanation:
Given:
Brown allele (B) is dominant over the white allele (b).
It will be assumed that the alleles are not related to the X and Y chromosomes.
See attached diagram for details of the general case (for both homo-zygous and hetero-zygous parents)
For both parents hetero-zygous,
P1:
Genotype: Bb (100%)
Phenotype: brown (100%)
F1:
Genotypes : BB, Bb, bB and bb in equal proportions, i.e.
BB (25%), Bb (50%), bb (25%)
Phenotypes: 75% brown (from BB and Bb), 25% white (from bb)
