7. White wool in sheep is a dominant trait and black wool is a recessive trait. Two heterozyous sheep were bred and had 3 offspring with black wool and 2 with white wool. why were there more sheep with black wool than white wool?
A. The alleles are inherited based on probability
B. The sheep were artificially selected for black wool
C. There were mutations in the genes during reproduction
D. Heterozgous combinations produce mostly recessive traits
