Use your knowledge of Mendelian genetics to write a hypothesis that answers the lab question, “What is the effect of the genes of the parental mice on the fur color of the offspring mice?” Be sure to use the “If . . . then . . . ” format.

If fur color in these mice is determined by simple Mendelian alleles with black (B) dominant to brown (b), then the fur color of the offspring will reflect the parents’ genotypes (for example: BB × BB → 100% black; BB × bb → 100% black (all Bb); Bb × bb → ~50% black, 50% brown; and Bb × Bb → ~75% black, ~25% brown).
