B/b-Allele Results:
B/B | Black | The dog carries two copies of the dominant B allele. The dog will have a black-based coat and will always pass on the "B" allele to any potential offspring. All offspring will also be black-based dogs. |
B/b | Black | Both the dominant and recessive copies of the B allele are present. The dog will have a black-based coat but carries the allele responsible for the brown phenotype. The dog can pass on either allele to potential offspring. |
b/ b | Brown | Two copies of the recessive allele are present. The dog has a brown-based coat as well as a brown nose and foot pads. The dog will always pass on the recessive allele to all potential offspring. |
