Title: What percent of the progeny do you expect to be albino?
Post by: casthia1 on Nov 21, 2014
Agouti is a type of coat color pattern in mouse that cannot be expressed in albinos (white mice). A non-alboino, agouti mouse that is heterozygous at the albino (A) and agouti (B) loci (AaBb) is mated to an albino mouse that is heterozygous at the agouti locus (aaBb). Non-albino mice without the dominant agouiti allele (AAbb and Aabb) are black.
