Question

For mice, the gene for coat color has two forms: a pigmented coat (C, the dominant allele) and an albino coat (c, the recessive allele.) Pete, a male mouse with a pigmented coat, was mated with Katy, an albino female . All six baby mice in the first litter had pigmented coats. For the next litter, Theresa was mated with Moe, who had pigmented coats. Some of Katy and Moe's litter were albinos. What are the most probable genotypes of Pete, Katy, and Moe?

A. Pete= Cc ; Katy= cc ; Moe=cc

B. Pete= CC; Katy= cc; Moe= Cc

C. Pete= Cc; Katy= cc; Moe= Cc
