Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Timmy wants to cross parent mice to produce offspring with black fur and offspring with white fur. If black fur color (B) is dominant to white fur (b), what should be the genotypes of the parent mice?
A
BB and BB
B
bb and bb
C
BB and Bb
D
Bb and Bb
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In rabbit, black skin (B) is dominant over brown skin (b), and short hair (S) is dominant over long hair (s). All F1 offsprings are heterozygous black-short haired.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: In order for a mouse to express white fur, it must possess both recessive (b) genes for white fur.

Detailed explanation-3: -Within a mouse population, the black fur allele (B) is dominant to the white fur allele (b) and the short whisker allele (S) is dominant to the long-whisker allele (s). A heterozygous black-furred short-whiskered mouse is crossed with a homozygous white-furred long-whiskered mouse.

Detailed explanation-4: -In mice, black fur (B) is dominant to brown fur (b) and a short tail (T) is dominant to a long tail (t). Two mice with the genotype BbTt have two separate litters of offspring together.
