The court should request genetic tests in the women's female albino dog and thebreeder's albino stud. In any case if the white coat allele in the two dogs are indifferent genes, the breeder should be innocent.To determine if the breeder is innocent, the court needs to separately breed thewomen's albino female dog and the breeder's albino stud to other purebredalbino dogs certified by the court. If new puppies turn out to be black, chancesare a mutation causes black coat has occurred in the germline, and the breedercan be proved to be innocent.When two purebred homozygous recessive dogs mate, no puppy should showthe dominant trait, unless a mutation to cause black coat color has occurred ineveryone of the six puppies. The likelihood for such an event to happen isextremely low, thus the breeder is most likely guilty. In dogs, albino white coat color is an autosomal recessive trait, while black coat is adominant trait. Homozygous recessive mutations in at least two different genes havebeen reported to cause white coat color in poodles. A woman owned a purebredalbino female poodle. The woman wanted to have more white poodle puppies. Shetook her dog to a breeder, who promised her to mate the woman's purebred albinofemale poodle with a purebred albino stud male. When six puppies were born, all ofthem were black. The woman sued the breeder, claiming that the breeder failed tobreed her poodle with a purebred albino stud male but with a black dog, giving hersix unwanted black puppies. You are called in as an expert witness. Based on yourknowledge in genetics, which of the following explanations for the case would youconsider to be the most reasonable to offer to the court?When two purebred homozygous recessive dogs mate, all puppies should showthe recessive trait. Since all of the six puppies has the black coat color, thebreeder is for sure guilty.
