Answer:
e. equal numbers of white and yellow mice, with twice as many creams as the other two colors.
Explanation:
According to the given information, the heterozygous genotype for the coat color gene in a mice breed has a cream-colored skin coat. Let's assume that the coat color gene has two alleles. The allele "Y" gives a yellow coat in homozygous genotype while the allele "W" gives a white coat in the homozygous genotype. The genotype of cream-colored mice is "YW". A cross between two mice each with "YW" genotype would produce the progeny in following ratio=
YW x YW= 1/4 YY: 1/2 YW: 1/4 WW
Therefore, the cross would produce equal numbers of white and yellow mice, with twice as many creams as the other two colors.
