The owner of a white female poodle wants her dog to have white puppies. she takes her dog to a breeder, who tells her he will mate her poodle with a white male. Much to the owner's surprise, her poodle gives birth to a black male instead of a white one. she is suing the breeder, alleging he mated her poodle with a black male instead of a white one, which resulted in six unwanted black puppies. You know that the white hair allele is recessive to the dominant allele for black hair in poodles. would you support the owner's allegation? explain your answer.
