In the mouse, gene A allows pigmentation to be deposited in the individual coat hairs while its allele a prevents such deposition of pigment, resulting in an albino. Gene B gives agouti (wild-type fur) while its allele b gives black fur.The cross between a doubly heterozygous agouti mouse mated with a doubly homozygous recessive white mouse is:AaBb X aabb.
1. What would be the expected phenotypic ratio in the progeny?

Respuesta :

Answer:

9 : 3 : 4 = agouti : black : albino

Explanation:

Given,

aa would not allow pigmentation resulting into albino mouse. So,

AaBb = agouti fur

aabb = albino fur

AaBb  X  aabb :

A_B_  = 9 = agouti

aaB_  =  3 = albino

A_bb  =  3 = black

aabb   = 1 = albino

Hence, expected phenotypic ratio in the progeny would be =

9 : 3 : 4 = agouti : black : albino
