Question

Coat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C). Mice with the wild type agouti coat color have a yellowish to brownish color. Mice also have a gene that determines the amount of pigment the hair produces.

Multiple crosses were made between male and female mice that were each heterozygous for both traits (AaCc). The data table shows the number of mice of each coat type. Calculate the average F1 generation coat color to answer the question.

Which of the following is the most probable interaction between the two genetic loci, A and C, based on the average F1 ratio results?

The two loci show an epistatic pattern with the loci C epistatic to loci A.
The two loci show a codominant pattern with both loci affecting coat color.
The two loci interact in a Mendelian pattern with A being completely dominant over C.
The two loci show an incomplete dominance pattern with neither loci A nor C being dominant.
