Labrador retrievers are traditionally black, brown, or yellow. The B allele codes for black fur, and the b allele codes for brown fur. The E allele allows the pigment to be deposited in the fur, while the e allele doesn't allow the pigment to be deposited. If one lab has the genotype bbee, and another lab has the genotype BbEe, what is the chance that an offspring will be brown
