In white tigers, the absence of fur pigmentation is caused by a recessive allele. This allele also causes the tigers to be cross-eyed. If two tigers heterozygous for this allele mate, what do you expect to see among the offspring?

Question

The offspring will have a 1/4 chance of inheriting two recessive alleles, which will result in both white fur and cross-eyedness.
