(You need to make your question fully but I hope I know what your talking about)

A child has like characteristics to its parents because the nucleus (or nuclei I guess) of both the sperm and egg combine sharing both their characteristics. They can combine because the sperm and egg both only have half a set of chromosomes.

What are the genotypes of the parental dogs one is black the other is brown who have ONLY black or yellow puppies. Explain how you determined their genotypes.?

BBEe and bbEe. Black is dominant, and brown is recessive. Yellow is also recessive. Because one parent is brown, for none of the puppies to also be brown the black parent cannot carry the recessive allele on the B locus. Because neither parent is yellow but some of the puppies are, both parents must carry the recessive allele on the E locus.
