Explanation / Answer

Labrador color is determined by the presence of genes B which gives black colour and b gene which gives brown color. The color expression is determined by the the alleles E and e. E allows color expression and e blocks color expression.

Yellow lab female is crossed with black lab male. The resulting litters included yellow lab pups. So, female has homozygous ee genotype and male has heterozygous Ee genotype.

Female parents were pure bred black lab (BBEe) and purebred chocolate lab (bbEe)

a) The genotype of female is Bbee and the genotype of male lab is BbEe.

b) Bbee X BbEe

Yellow, black and brown colored labs are produced in the ratio of 8:6:2.

C) 2 yellow and 1 black pup is expected among the 3 pups.
