Question

1. The diagram below shows a happy family of mice, with two parents and four offspring.

However, one of the offspring mice is an imposter. The black fur parent has the genotype FF Ee
and the white fur parent has the genotype ff Ee. Given these parent genotypes, which offspring
mouse could not have been born to these parents?
- A. Offspring A (Ff Ee)
- B. Offspring B (FREE)
C. Offspring C (Ffee)
D. Offspring D (ff EE)

Answer 1

D. Offspring D (ff EE)

Step-by-step explanation:

The response is the genotype ff EE because the black fur parent has the genotype FF Ee, thereby it is impossible to have a offspring with the genotype ff (one allele is inherited from the female parent and one from the male parent)
