What is the phenotype of a mouse that has the genotype Bb where capital B is the gene for black fur and b is the gene for brown fur, assuming the gene follows a Mendelian inheritance pattern?(1 point)

Question

Responses

fur with yellow hairs
fur with yellow hairs
fur with black hairs
fur with black hairs
fur with brown hairs
fur with brown hairs
fur with both black and brown hairs
fur with both black and brown hairs

Answer 1

The phenotype of a mouse with the genotype Bb, where B is the dominant allele for black fur and b is the recessive allele for brown fur, will be fur with black hairs. In Mendelian inheritance, the presence of the dominant allele (B) will determine the phenotype, so the correct response is:

fur with black hairs
