Detailed explanation-1: -Mice with genotype cc are albino because all pigment production and deposition of pigment in hair is blocked. At the second locus, the B allele (black agouti coat) is dominant to the b allele (brown agouti coat). A mouse with a black agouti coat is mated with an albino mouse of genotype bbcc.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thus the mating of two heterozygous black mice produces the expected ratio of 3 black : 1 brown offspring.
Detailed explanation-3: -Complete answer: The probability that a white mouse that is homozygous for long fur and a mouse heterozygous for both traits can have an offspring with short white fur is 0. Let us understand this by analysing the genes responsible for the traits and how they are inherited by the progeny.
