Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion 

In mice, yellow fur is dominant to brown fur, and the Yellow allele is a dominant
mutation. Interestingly, mice that have a genotype that is homozygous for the Yellow
allele do not survive embryonic development. In this example, what ratio of
phenotypes would you expect to see in living offspring from a cross between two
yellow mice?
It depends on the genotypes of the yellow mice being crossed.
