You find a mutation in gorillas that results in purple fur. When you cross a true-breeding purple male with a true-breeding brown female, the offspring are all brown. When you cross a true-breeding brown male with a true-breeding purple female, you get all purple males and all brown females. What is the most likely mode of inheritance for the allele underlying the purple color? autosomal recessive O Y-linked O X-linked recessive O autosomal dominant
