popular with fur buyers. ‘The breeders couldn’t breed a pure strain of platinum foxes;
every time they bred two platinum foxes together, there were some normal foxes in
the progeny. For example, in repeated matings of the same platinum foxes, 82
platinums and 38 normal offspring were produced. State a concise genetic hypothesis
to account for these results.
