Do you think mouse offspring will always look like their parents?

1 answer

Mouse offspring generally resemble their parents due to the inheritance of genetic traits. However, they may not look exactly like their parents because of genetic variation, including recombination and mutations. The specific combination of genes that an offspring inherits can lead to differences in traits such as coat color, size, and other physical characteristics. Environmental factors can also play a role in the development and appearance of the offspring. Overall, while there is a strong resemblance, there can be variability among mouse offspring.
