White mice are used in laboratory test because they mimic the mutated recessive gene of the Caucasian race. Brown mice are natural to the environment as there are unlimited benefits to this color and it would seem natural to use a dominate trait to conduct these test, but these results may not work on a mutated species. It has nothing to do with purity because purity is anything that has not been modified or influenced from its original state by any force or material not derived from that original state, that being said brown mice are pure, white mice have been modified from the original. This information you may not get from many sources but it is a fact. Brown mice are used if you are going to conduct test on a naturally occurring pure species.
