In mice, gene A is epistatic to gene B. Dominant allele "A" allows for pigment to be transported to the fur; recessive allele "a" prevents the transport of pigment to the fur, resulting in an albino mouse. Dominant allele "B" gives agouti fur color; recessive allele "b" gives black fur color. What phenotype would you expect from a mouse with "aaBb" genotype? * A.black and white fur B.albino fur C. agouti fur D. black fur

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
