Question

The allele for brown fur in mice (B) is dominant over the allele for white fur (b).

The fur color of one mouse is represented by Bb.
What is the genotype of this mouse?
What is the phenotype of this mouse?​

Answer 2

Genotype: Bb (heterozygous)

Phenotype: brown fur

Step-by-step explanation:

Since allele B is dominant to allele b, as long as genotype has allele B in it, its effect of phenotype will be expressed instead, regardless of whether allele b is present.

As mouse genotype is stated as Bb, on the chromosome from its parents, allele B comes from one parent while allele b is inherited from the other parent.

Phenotype is the expressed trait. In this case, as genotype has allele B, the phenotype will be brown fur as its effect is expressed.
