Question

Mice have two unlinked allele pairs that affect fur color. The table shows how allele pairs affect fur color. The term "agouti" describes fur with pigmentation that changes in each hair from the shaft to the tip, giving the fur a banded appearance. Mice with the aa allele pair ware albino, regardless of the second allele-pair combination. What is the probability of albinism in the offspring of a cross between two mice with AaBb alleles?

1/16
3/16
4/16
9/16

Answer 1

The probability of albinism in the offspring of a cross between two mice with AaBb alleles is 4/16.

What is Probability?

This is an expression which tells how likely an event will occur. It is usually gotten by dividing the favorable number of outcomes by the total number of possible outcome.

The total number of possible outcome is 16 and the favorable number of outcomes (AaBb) is 4.

This means the probability is 4/16.
