Mouse coat color (white or brown) is determined by genes in the main genome. If a somatic nucleus from a white mouse skin cell was inserted into a brown mouse egg cell (with its nucleus removed), what color would you expect in the cloned mouse?

The mouse will have the nuclear genetic material of the white mouse's somatic cell, therefore it's expected for the cloned mouse to be white.
