Thanks for that easy to understand genetics lesson. I think I am getting a bit more each time. I have a question though...
When you say about the 't' gene being dominant and only needing one from either parent to produce a tan belly....does that mean if the mother or father is tan bellied that all of the offspring will be too. It's just if that is the case then I got a mouse from pet shop (black and tan) and she was pregnant and had 7 babies. 2 of the 7 do not have tan bellies.
I have probably not 'quite got it' but I just wondered...
