An autosomal recessive allele in dogs results in white spots. If two solid-colored black dogs are mated and produce a white-spotted puppy, what is the percentage chance that their next puppy would also be a white-spotted puppy?   

Briefly share with me why you’re taking BI234 (or rather, why you’re taking microbiology generally). Further, if you’ve taken another course with me in the past, remind me of what course you took and when (and if you’d like, what you enjoyed about the class). 

I have reviewed the course schedule for BI234 found on pages #3-4 of the course syllabus and there are no conflicts with my schedule that might prohibit my ability to participate in class activities as assigned.
