Question:
In mice, the allele C for colored fur is dominant over the allele c for white fur, and the allele V for normal behavior is dominant over the allele v for waltzing behavior, a form of dis-coordination. Given the genotypes of the parents in each of the following crosses:
(a) Colored, normal mice mated with white, normal mice produced 29 colored, normal, and 10 colored, waltzing progeny
(b) Colored, normal mice mated with colored, normal mice produced 38 colored, normal, 15 colored, waltzing, 11 white, normal, and 4 white, waltzing progeny
(c) Colored, normal mice mated with white, waltzing mice produced 8 colored, normal, 7 colored, waltzing, 9 white, normal, and 6 white, waltzing progeny.
