A gene responsible for the production of brown pigment controls the coat color in a species of mice. This gene has two types of alleles - A, which is functional, and a, which is a mutated allele that does not produce pigment. The mice with the "A" allele have brown coats while those with the “a”" allele have white coats. The intermediate tan/beige color is observed when both alleles are present in the mice. If two an/beige mice breed, what would be the expected phenotypic ratio of Cheir offspring?

A gene responsible for the production of brown pigment controls the

those with the "a" allele have white coats. The intermediate tan/beige

tan/beige mice breed, what would be the expected phenotypic ratio of
their offspring?
