A scientist has obtained two true-breeding strains of mice, each homozygous for an independently recessive discovered mutation that prevents the formation of hair on the body. One mutant strain is called naked, and the other is hairless. the scientist crosses naked and hairless mice with each other to determine whether the two mutations are different alleles. All the offspring lack hair on their bodies a: Are naked and hairless different mutations two alleles? Why or why not? b: What type of genetics experiment is this called? What is the significance of this test?
