In mice, black fur is caused by dominant allele B B\,B and white fur by recessive allele bbb .

Two black mice produce a white offspring. One of the original black parents is then crossed with a white mouse. They produce six offspring, all black.

Which statement correctly gives the probability of this result and its implication for the black parent's genotype?

[1]
A

The probability is 164\frac{1}{64}641​ ; the black parent must still be heterozygous.

B

The probability is 164\frac{1}{64}641​ ; the black parent must now be homozygous.

C

The probability is 132\frac{1}{32}321​ ; the black parent must still be heterozygous.

D

The probability is 132\frac{1}{32}321​ ; the black parent must now be homozygous.
