Question 1120255: When black coated mice are crossed with brown coated mice, a pair of genes, one from each
parent, determines the coat color of the offspring. Let b represent the gene for brown and B the
gene for black. If a mouse carries one B gene and one b gene (Bb or bB), the coat will be black.
if the mouse carries two b genes (bb),the coat will be brown. find the probability that a mouse
born to a brown coated female and a black coated male who is known to carry the Bb
combination will be brown.
