I know that black coat color in mice is dominant to albino. Black mice get a higher price at the pet store so I am disappointed when I cross a black mouse with an albino mouse and get 6 albino and 2 black mice in the litter. I expected all black. What mistake did I make?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. I assumed that black alleles were more common than white.
  2. I assumed that white alleles were more common than black.
  3. I assumed that my black mouse was true-breeding.
  4. I assumed that my white mouse was true-breeding.

The pedigree shows the inheritance of a RFLP marker through three generations in a single family. A total of 8 alleles (numbered to the left of the blots) are present in the family. The RFLPs of each member of the family are placed directly below his (squares) or her (circles) symbol and RFLP numbers. In Above pedigree, which of the following are not children of second generation parent?
