In this case, the black body colour is the dominant one. The white dog is homozygous recessive.
As the cross between the black female 2 and the white male results in all black pups. This means that the all the offsprings are heterozygotes and the Female 1 is homozygous recessive having a BB phenotype (where B codes for dominant allele).
As the cross between the black female and the white male results in four white and three black pups. This means that the all the black offsprings are heterozygotes, and the white ones are homozygous recessive and the Female 2 have a dominant and 1 recessive gene, and is a hetrozygotezygous recessive having a Bb phenotype (where B codes for dominant allele and b codes for recessive allele).
Answer:
b. can be highly variable depending on season and rainfall.
Explanation:
0.5 • 0.5 • 0.5 • 0.5 = 0.0625 or 6.25%
There’s a 0.5 chance of getting a y allele from parent 1, 0.5 chance of getting an r allele from parent 1, 0.5 chance of getting a y allele from parent 2, and 0.5 chance of getting an r allele from parent 2.
