Question 4

(Multiple Choice)

Remember that,in Labrador retrievers,B (black coat)is dominant to b (brown coat)and homozygosity for the recessive epistatic allele e always results in a yellow coat.A brown female is crossed to a yellow male,and their progeny consists of six black puppies.Interestingly,when one of the F1 females is crossed to her yellow father,she gives birth to seven puppies: three yellow,three black,and one brown. What are the most likely genotypes of the original brown female and yellow male?


A)b/b;E/E (female)and B/B;e/e (male)
B)b/b;E/E (female)and B/b;e/e (male)
C)b/b;E/e(female)and B/B;e/e (male)
D)b/b;E/e(female)and B/b;e/e (male)
E)b/b;E/E (female)and b/b;e/e (male)
