Both parents have white fur.
way that this can happen is if their genotypes are both
.
Therefore, both parents pass the
allele to every offspring.
When you combine two of these alleles, the resulting genotype is
; therefore, the resulting
offspring have white fur.

Answer 1

Both parents have white fur. One way that this can happen is if their genotypes are both ww (homozygous recessive). Therefore, both parents pass the w (recessive) allele to every offspring. When you combine two of these alleles, the resulting genotype is ww; therefore, the resulting offspring have white fur.
