QUESTION 6 Assume that a researcher is studying coat color in voles. Three strains of white vole have been isolated: milky, blanc, and weiss. White is a recessive trait in each strain. Homozygous white voles are obtained for each strain, Consider the following crosses: milky X weiss = all white progeny (mutant) milky X blanc = all brown (wild-type vole color) blanc X weiss = all brown (wild-type vole color) The conclusion most consistent with these results is O A. all three strains have mutations in the same gene. O B. all three strains have mutations in different genes. O C. milky and blanc have mutations on the same gene, weiss has a mutation in a different gene. O D. milky and weiss have mutations on the same gene, blanc has a mutation in a different gene. O E. weiss and blanc have mutations on the same gene, milky has a mutation in a different gene.

QUESTION 6
Assume that a researcher is studying coat color in voles. Three strains of white vole have been isolated: milky, blanc, and weiss. White is a recessive trait
in each strain. Homozygous white voles are obtained for each strain. Consider the following crosses:
milky X weiss = all white progeny (mutant)
milky X blanc = all brown (wild-type vole color)
blanc X weiss = all brown (wild-type vole color)
The conclusion most consistent with these results is
O A all three strains have mutations in the same gene.
O B. all three strains have mutations in different genes.
OC. milky and blanc have mutations on the same gene, weiss has a mutation in a different gene.
D. milky and weiss have mutations on the same gene, blanc has a mutation in a different gene.
O E. weiss and blanc have mutations on the same gene, milky has a mutation in a different gene.
