In a species of mice a single gene determines fur color. The two alleles for fur color are black (B) and white (W). Which of the following is most likely true if the alleles for fur color show codominance? The BW mice would be black. The BB mice would be white. The BW mice would have black and white patches. The WW mice would have black and white patches.

I believe the answer to this is:

C. The BW mice would have black and white patches

Step-by-step explanation:

Codominant genes will produce an individual with an intermediate phenotype as both alleles are simultaneously expressed in the heterozygote.

Hope this helps! :D
