If the dog has at least one dominant E then the B gene controls black or brown pigment. Black is dominant over brown. (EX: EeBb=black, EEbb=brown).

The most common example of this is when a gene is found on the X or Y chromosome. For instance, if the gene for male pattern baldness is found only the x chromosome, show the probability of a bald man’s sons and daughters going bald.

Do now#3: Lab coat color is an epistatic trait, meaning that the expression of a trait depends on the interaction of two different genes. The E gene controls whether the dog has pigment in his or her coat (EE=pigment (black or brown), Ee=pigment, ee=yellow (absence of pigment, regardless of B gene). If the dog has at least one dominant E then the B gene controls black or brown pigment. Black is dominant over brown. (EX: EeBb=black, EEbb=brown). One parent is a yellow lab with a heterozygous B gene. The other parent is a black lab that is heterozygous for both traits.
