A geneticist is studying the inheri ance of a particular trait in a population of mice. The trait is determined by a \single gene with two alleles: B and b. The B allele is dominant and codes for the production of a protein that gives the mice a black coat color, while the b allele is recessive and codes for a protein that gives the mice a white coat color. What is the expected genotype and phenotype of a mouse that is homozygous recessive for the gene?
