Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] Blank is the phenotype of the sheep.
identify the genotype of a black sheep because it could be either BB or Bb.
The possible genotypes of the parents of a black sheep could be BB x BB, BB x Bb, Bb x bb, or Bb x Bb.
Thus, there is no single genotype for either parent.
