Australian Shepherds are a breed of dogs whose coat color is directly impacted by two different genes. The gene that determines basic coat color exhibits a dominant allele (B) for black coat color and a recessive allele (b) for red coat color. Additionally, these dogs can have a solid coat color (mm) or a mixed pattern coat color called merle (Mm). The homozygous dominant coat color is called a lethal white (MM) which produces pups that are deaf and blind. What is the probability that two red Australian shepherds will produce a black pup?

Australian shepherd dogs can have a solid coat color (mm) or a mixed pattern coat color called merle (Mm). The homozygous dominant coat color is called a lethal white (MM) which produces pups that are deaf and blind. The Australian Shepherds of America Club discourages from mating two merles. Which of the following best explains why merle-to-merle matings are undesirable?
The cross has the probability of producing litters with 50% solid coat color pups.
The cross produces all homozygous recessive pups
The cross has the probability of producing litters with 25% merle coat pups.
The cross has a 25% chance of producing homozygous dominant pups.
