Question

Labrador retrievers are commonly black, brown, or yellow. Two different genes determine coat color in Labrador retrievers. 

The B gene determines pigment color (B is black, bb is brown). The E gene determines whether the pigment can be deposited in the hair shaft: ee prevents any pigment from being deposited, resulting in yellow dogs.

You want to breed Labrador retrievers, and you cross a true-breeding brown Labrador retriever to a true-breeding yellow Labrador retriever.  All 15 of the F1 puppies are black. 

After the puppies grow up, you cross two of the F1 black dogs together. In the F2 generation you get 8 black puppies, 4 yellow puppies, and 3 brown puppies.
