An experiment to determine the inheritance of fur color mates two mice. A true breeding mouse with purple hair is crossed with a true breeding mouse with red hair. All the offspring (F1 generation) are purple.

A) Based on this, what is the dominant trait and the recessive trait?

B) What is the genotype of all of the F1 generation?

The F1 animals are crossed and produce the following (F2) progeny.

290 purple mice

110 red mice

C. Do these numbers make sense?.. What is your hypothesis that would explain the ratio of the F2 progeny?

D. Use a Chi-square test to determine whether those numbers fit a Mendelian pattern of inheritance
