A white mouse whose parents are both produces only brown offspring when mated with a brown mouse The white mouse is most probably what?

White fur color is recessive and brown is dominant. The white mouse has a genotype of bb and the brown mouse has a genotype of BB. All offspring would be heterozygous with a genotype of BB and brown fur.

∙ 14y agoThe gene for white mice is recessive. If a brown mouse carrying only brown genes mates with a white mouse the offspring will be brown but will carry a white gene. That means when a white mouse is mated to a brown mouse carrying a white gene the mouse could be white or brown.
If a brown mouse carrying a white gene and a brown gene was mated to another brown mouse that also had a white gene (because it was born from the union of a white mouse and a brown mouse) it could produce either a brown mouse or a white mouse.
2 white mice can only produce a white mouse unless a spontaneous mutation occurs (which is rare but possible)
The possible gene combinations from 2 mice carrying both white and brown genes would be :-
brown gene + brown gene= brown mouse or
white gene + brown gene = brown mouse or
white gene + white gene = white mouse

Where did the Red Angus come from?
The Aberdeen Angus produces both black and brown (red) calves.Selective breeding from the brown variety produces a greater preponderence of brown (red) offspring, known as the Red Angus.The Angus breed was first established in Angus, near Aberdeen, Scotland, UK.For more information, see Related links below this box.
If a black and brown rabbit mate out of 4 offspring how may would be dark brown?
It might be 2 dark brown rabbits
How does the female brown recluse spider take care of her offspring?

What is the most likely color my baby rabbits will turn out if both parents are white?
Probably balck. that or brown. i don't think white because that never happens.
If a white rabbit mates with a brown rabbit what is the most likely color of their offsprings?
they would come out with bits of the parents colours They would probably be majority of brown babies possible with white patterns. It depends if either rabbit is of solid colour.
What would be the observable color of the offspring if both chromosomes coming from the parents has brown hair color?
his offspring hair color will be brown
What if the parents have brown eyes and the offspring has green or hazel?
Then the parents carried the gene for green eyes as a recessive gene.
In birds black feathers are dominant over brown feathers Two birds with black feathers were crossed They had an offspring with brown feathers How is this possible?
Both parents were heterozygous (Bb). The offspring would statistically be: BB, Bb, Bb, and bb. All but the bb offspring would be black and the bb would be brown.
If both parents have brown eyes can an offspring have blue eyes explain?
yeah in the granfarter has blue eyes which happened to me!
When a brown guinea pig was crossed with a white guinea pig her offspring were all brown why?
This is probably the result of the brown genes being dominant and the white genes being recessive. this is correct.
Brown eyes are dominant Cross a homozygous brown with a recessive blue What color eyes will the offspring have?
all brown the chances of brown eyes both parents have to have blueeyes for blue eyes to become dominant but its still possible no matter what for blue or brown
Could two blue-eyed parents have a brown-eyed child?
GeneticsYes, it's possible for a pair of blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed offspring. It all depends on each parent's genotype, and which trait comes from the dominant or recessive allele.
If a child has blond hair and both of her parents have brown hair what does that tell you about the allele for blond hair?
Both of the parents were heterozygous with the blonde hair allele, which is recessive. When there are two parents that are heterozygous, there is a 25% chance their offspring will get two of the recessive alleles. A punnett square can be useful when determining the different phenotypes and genotypes possible in offspring
What is the genotype of the offspring that do not share the parents phenotype?
Genotype is the coded for traitPhenotype is the visible characteristicSo in the case where both parents had heterozygous dominant Brown eyes (Bb - big B for brown, dominant gene; little b for blue recessive gene); it is possible for the child to have blue eyes, by being homozygous recessive (bb).However this is an educated guess, as your question does not make sense.

What color eyes would the baby have if the father and mother have brown eyes?
Probably brown. It depends on what the parents carry as a recessive gene.
What is the offspring brown bird pelican?
three
