In the yawncat (a rare hypothetical animal), the dominant allele R causes solid tail color, and the recessive alleler results in white spots on a colored background. The black coat color allele B is dominant to the brown allele b, but the B and b alleles can only be expressed if the animal has an mm genotype at a third gene locus. Animals that are M_are yellow regardless of which allele from the B locus is present. A mating between a solid yellow-tailed male yawncat and a solid brown-tailed female yawncat produces 16 offspring with the following tail phenotypes: six solid yellow, two spotted yellow, three solid black, one spotted black, three solid brown, and one spotted brown. What is the probability of the next offspring from these same two parents having a spotted brown tail? O A. 1/16 O B. 9/16 O C. 3/16 O D. 1/2 O E. 1/4

Question
In the yawncat (a rare hypothetical animal), the dominant allele R causes solid tail color, and the recessive allele r results in white spots on a colored background. The black coat color allele B is dominant to the brown allele b, but the B and b alleles can only be expressed if the animal has an mm genotype at a third gene locus. Animals that are M_ are yellow regardless of which allele from the B locus is present. A mating between a solid yellow-tailed male yawncat and a solid brown-tailed female yawncat produces 16 offspring with the following tail phenotypes: six solid yellow, two spotted yellow, three solid black, one spotted black, three solid brown, and one spotted brown. What is the probability of the next offspring from these same two parents having a spotted brown tail? O A. 1/16 B. 9/16 С. 3/16 D. 1/2 O E. 1/4
