It is quite possible. Let us say that both of these solid black mice breed together, and have a few pale babies. This would give reason to believe that they are what is called 'heterozygous' for agouti. If a male and female mice were pure bred black, then the gene would be represented as such: Male: BB Female: BB BB, Bb= Black bb= agouti Now, if your rats are heterozygous for the agouti gene (Bb) it means that they look black, but have the agouti gene in them. The black colour being the dominant trait, and the agouti being recessive. If you cross two Bb rats, the offspring will come out like so: BbxBb= 25% Pure black rats (BB), this is called homozygous 50% heterozygous rats (Bb) and 25% homozygous recessive (bb) So, to say it simply, yes. Two black mice can have light agouti babies. Search up punnet square, monohybrid and dihybrid crosses to learn more.
