In a different population of mice in New Mexico, coat coloration is influenced by a single gene called MC2R that only has two possible alleles (B and b). Suppose two tan mice mate. They produce 5 offspring: 1 is dark brown, 1 is white, and 3 are tan. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for this cross? O A. At this genetic locus these alleles display incomplete dominance. Heterozygous individuals are tan, and homozygous individuals are either white or dark brown. B. At this genetic locus these alleles display incomplete dominance. Homozygous individuals are tan, and heterozygous individuals are either white or dark brown. O C. The tan parents had different genotypes -- one was BB, and the other was bb. When they mated they produced BB (dark brown), Bb (tan) and bb (white) offspring. D. The tan parents had different genotypes mated they produced Bb (dark brown), BB (tan) and bb (white) offspring. -- one was BB, and the other was bb. When they
