whatever type of tail it wants to.
Answer: When a dominant gene is present, it will always be expressed. The only time a recessive gene is expressed is when no dominant gene is present. Therefore, the mouse in question will have a long tail.
A pretty bow
Targeting experiments in mouse have demonstrated that the majority of genes are in which has a dominant effect on tail length and is deleted in Thp.
75% or 3/4. The two F1 (offspring) mice have a genotype Bb, and express the dominant (brown) trait. When they mate, 1/4 will be BB (homozygous dominant - brown), 2/4 will be Bb (heterozygous - brown), and 1/4 will be bb (homozygous recessive - white).
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.
dominant alleles will always overrule recessive alleles. So if you have any dominant allele in the phnotype or geneotype, the dominant trait will be expressed. For example, since black fur is dominant to brown fur on mice, if two black mice mate, at least part of their offspring will have black fur. If they are heterozygous for black, though, that's when a brown mouse offspring may be possible, but there would always be more black offspring than brown offspring. parents offspring (4) Bb x Bb --> BB, Bb, Bb, bb BB x Bb --> BB, BB, Bb, Bb BB x BB --> BB, BB, BB, BB BB x bb --> Bb, Bb, Bb, Bb Bb x bb --> Bb, Bb, bb, bb anything with a capital B would be black while "bb" is the only brown.
Mice are typically under 2 inches long with a tail of similar length. Rats however are much bigger than mice.
The probable genotype for the white mouse would be homozygous recessive.
While there is no precise length for a mouse, the typical person thinking of mice will likely be thinking of the house mouse (mus musculus). The length of an adult house mouse from nose to base of tail is 7.5-10cm (3-3.9in) with a tail length of 5-10cm (2-3.9in).
The mouse with the genotype BB would have black hair because the dominant allele B controls for black hair color.
It would look like this. --¦ W W -------------- w¦ Ww Ww w¦ Ww Ww All the offspring would be black-furred, all carrying one dominant gene and one recessive.
Mm
The parent had a recessive gene or a gene with incomplete dominance. The rare case of albinism may also be the cause.
