Question

Several different possible hypotheses appear below. Click the hypothesis that most resembles the hypothesis you wrote.

If either parent mouse passes a dominant allele, the offspring will have black fur.

If you know the fur color of the offspring mice, you can use the ratios to identify the genotypes of the parents.

If you know the genes of the parental mice, then you can predict the traits of the offspring mice.

Something else (in “If . . . then . . . ” format)

Answer 1

I don’t have the hypothesis you wrote. Please either paste it here or pick one of these based on the guidance below:

- Pick option 1 ("If either parent mouse passes a dominant allele, the offspring will have black fur.") if your hypothesis states a specific dominant allele causes black fur in offspring.

- Pick option 2 ("If you know the fur color of the offspring mice, you can use the ratios to identify the genotypes of the parents.") if your hypothesis is about deducing parental genotypes from offspring phenotype ratios.

- Pick option 3 ("If you know the genes of the parental mice, then you can predict the traits of the offspring mice.") if your hypothesis is about predicting offspring traits from known parental genotypes.

- Pick option 4 ("Something else (in 'If . . . then . . . ' format)") if your hypothesis doesn’t match any of the above — then paste your exact "If... then..." sentence and I’ll select the closest match or suggest a better fit.
