https://padlet.com/laurar2/babymice1 Why are baby mice different colors? Seif's pet mouse had babies. Five of the babies were black and two were white. The father mouse was black. The mother was white. Seif and his friends wondered why the mice were different colors. His friends have some different ideas about the reasons why the baby mice are different colors. Who do you agree with and why? Post your reason near their ideas. en-us 2017-01-26 21:21:13 UTC 2026-01-17 19:00:36 UTC hello@padlet.com laurar2 https://padlet.com/laurar2/babymice1/wish/149767829 Baby mice inherit more traits from their fathers than their mothers.]]> 2017-01-26 21:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/laurar2/babymice1/wish/149767829 laurar2 https://padlet.com/laurar2/babymice1/wish/149767913 The baby mice get half of their traits from their mother and half from their father.]]> 2017-01-26 21:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/laurar2/babymice1/wish/149767913 laurar2 https://padlet.com/laurar2/babymice1/wish/149767998 Male traits are stronger than female traits.]]> 2017-01-26 21:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/laurar2/babymice1/wish/149767998 laurar2 https://padlet.com/laurar2/babymice1/wish/149768085 Black mice have more traits that white mice.]]> 2017-01-26 21:25:43 UTC https://padlet.com/laurar2/babymice1/wish/149768085 laurar2 https://padlet.com/laurar2/babymice1/wish/149768141 The baby black mice are male and the white mice are female.]]> 2017-01-26 21:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/laurar2/babymice1/wish/149768141 laurar2 https://padlet.com/laurar2/babymice1/wish/149768249 Parent's traits don't matter for fur color.

Baby mice get half of their traits from their mother, and the other half from their father. The black fur is a dominant allele, and white fur is a recessive allele.
