Question: In mice, a certain species displays incomplete dominance in coat coloring. The offspring of a black (BB) mouse and a white (bb) mouse are gray (Bb) mice. A cross between two gray mice will most likely produce offspring with which percent of coat colors?
Answer: 25% white, 25% black, 50% gray
Hypothesis: the offspring will have 25% probability to have white fur, 25% to have black fur, and 50% to have gray fur
Supporting facts: sent1: gray fur is heterozygous dominant for mice sent2: coloration means a thing 's color sent3: one in two means half / 50% sent4: percents / ratios are a kind of data sent5: if a heterozygous dominant organism is crossed / bred with a heterozygous dominant organism , then the offspring will have a 25% probability of being homozygous recessive sent6: if both dominant genes are present , then the dominant trait will be visible / expressed sent7: if a heterozygous dominant organism is crossed / bred with a heterozygous dominant organism , then the offspring will have a 75% probability of having dominant trait sent8: crossing / breeding two heterozygous dominant organisms causes their offspring to be heterozygous dominant / homozygous recessive with heterozygous dominant of 75% probability / with homozygous recessive of 25% sent9: genetic / hereditary means of genes / heredity sent10: black fur is homozygous dominant for mice sent11: if a heterozygous dominant organism is crossed / bred with a heterozygous dominant organism , then the offspring will have a 25% probability of being homozygous dominant sent12: amount is a property of something and includes ordered values of none / least / little / some / half / much / many / most / all sent13: brown fur is a recessive trait in mouse sent14: if a homozygous / pure dominant organism is crossed / bred with a homozygous / pure recessive organism , then the offspring will have a 100% probability of being heterozygous dominant sent15: offspring receives half of the genes from each parent sent16: genes are able to determine the inherited characteristics of a living thing sent17: if both recessive genes are present , then the recessive trait will be visible / expressed sent18: white fur is homozygous recessive for mice sent19: two gray mice are crossed to produce offspring sent20: if a heterozygous dominant organism is crossed / bred with homozygous / pure recessive organism , then the offspring will have a 50% probability of being heterozygous dominant sent21: if a heterozygous dominant organism is crossed / bred with a heterozygous dominant organism , then the offspring will have a 50% probability of being heterozygous dominant sent22: crossing / breeding a homozygous dominant organism with a homozygous recessive organism causes all their offspring to be heterozygous dominant sent23: traits can be determined by one pair / many pairs of genes in an organism sent24: coloration means a pattern of colors sent25: if both a dominant and recessive gene are present , the dominant trait will be visible / expressed
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] gray fur is heterozygous dominant for mice [AND] two gray mice are crossed to produce offspring [INFER] int1: two heterozygous dominant mice are crossed to produce offspring [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] if a heterozygous dominant organism is crossed / bred with a heterozygous dominant organism , then the offspring will have a 25% probability of being homozygous recessive [INFER] int2: the offspring will have 25% probability to be homozygous recessive [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] white fur is homozygous recessive for mice [INFER] int3: the offspring will have 25% probability to have white fur [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] if a heterozygous dominant organism is crossed / bred with a heterozygous dominant organism , then the offspring will have a 25% probability of being homozygous dominant [INFER] int4: the offspring will have 25% probability to be homozygous dominant [BECAUSE] int4 [AND] black fur is homozygous dominant for mice [INFER] int5: the offspring will have 25% probability to have black fur [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] if a heterozygous dominant organism is crossed / bred with a heterozygous dominant organism , then the offspring will have a 50% probability of being heterozygous dominant [INFER] int6: the offspring will have 50% probability of being heterozygous dominant [BECAUSE] int6 [AND] gray fur is heterozygous dominant for mice [INFER] int7: the offspring will have 50% probability to have gray fur [BECAUSE] int3 [AND] int5 [AND] int7 [INFER] int8: the offspring will have 25% probability to have white fur, 25% to have black fur, and 50% to have gray fur
