Question

A male mouse with brown fur color is mated to two different female mice with black fur. Black female 1 produces a litter of 9 black and 7 brown pups. Black female 2 produces 14 black pups.

Choose symbols for each allele, and identify the genotypes of the brown male and the two black females.

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone. Let's take a look at this practice problem together. When Mandel formed the concept of particulate inheritance from his pea plant experiment, what hypothesis did he use to explain the results? He obtained the answer. Options are a blending theory be chromosomal theory, see law of segregation and de pan genesis theory. So what was Mendel's concept of particulate inheritance? It was the theory that genetic trait inheritance is through discrete units that he called particulates. We now call these genes. Let's discuss the answer options. A blending theory. This is not the correct answer. Blending theory is the theory that offspring will have a blend of their parents venna types. So this does not correctly explain the results that Mandel obtained. Therefore A is not the correct answer B chromosome. Oh theory recall that chromosomal theory is that genes are located at specific locations on chromosomes. This does not describe inheritance patterns. Therefore, option B is also incorrect. Option de pan Genesis theory recall that this was a theory from Charles Darwin. It was his theory of heredity that cells shed particles that gather in the gonads and contribute to inheritance. This is not the correct answer either. So we'll eliminate option D as well. The correct answer is option C law of segregation. Now, recall what that law is and it's that each trait has two alleles, but only one is passed on. Therefore, the correct answer is option C law of segregation. Alright, everyone. I hope you found this helpful and I'll see you soon for the next practice problem.
