Ryan Watkins · Answer 1

The percentage of the offspring that are brown would be 100%, because of the allelic relationship between dominant and recessive alleles. Basically since the mode of inheritance is that of complete dominance.

0% because the brown fur is a dominant trait, therefore it'll overpower all white traits.
