In some mice, fur color is inherited through incomplete dominance. The colors that are possible are black fur, white fur and grey fur. Grey is the trait that is inherited through incomplete dominance. Scenario: a grey fur male mouse and a grey fur female mouse have 8 babies. The offspring that result are: 2 black fur, 5 grey fur and 1 white fur. But this is not what is statistically expected from that cross. Explain why this is still a probable outcome.

This is as a result of mutation

    Explanation:

    Mutation is the sudden change of a gene, from the above explanation mating of an incomplete grey fur dominance with an incomplete grey fur dominance should not have had offspring with 2 black fur, 5 grey fur and white fur. Normal mating should have produced also an incomplete grey fur dominant offspring
