I don’t have the diagram or cross you’re looking at, so I can’t pick the right option with certainty. Can you upload or describe the parents/offspring phenotypes?
Meanwhile, here are rules to determine the genotype:
- “Brown eyes” and “Blue eyes” are phenotypes, not genotypes.
- If B = brown (dominant) and b = blue (recessive):
- Blue phenotype → genotype = bb.
- Brown phenotype could be BB or Bb.
- A brown wolf that produces a blue pup must be heterozygous (Bb).
- Two blue parents must each be bb and can only produce blue offspring.
If the typical problem is “a brown wolf that produced a blue pup” then the genotype for that brown wolf (the second wolf) would be Bb. If you post the specific cross/diagram I’ll give the definite answer.
