The information you've provided suggests that the presence of alleles A and B represents dominant genes for a specific color phenotype in puppies. Typically, when considering dominant and recessive alleles, the dominant phenotype will be expressed when at least one dominant allele is present.

Based on common genetics in dogs:

  • Black is often associated with dominant alleles.
  • Yellow and Brown can be recessive depending on the specific gene interactions.
  • White is generally a separate trait and can also depend on other genetic factors.

If alleles A and B represent dominant alleles for a black phenotype, then the puppies produced would likely be black if they inherit at least one of these dominant alleles.

Therefore, the color phenotype that is likely produced would be:

Black
