- Assume that in moles a single gene controls color. Moles are either tan or gray. When a tan mole mates with another tan mole, all the offspring are tan. When a gray mole mates with either another gray mole or a tan mole, some of the litters are all gray and some litters are mixed, having gray and tan moles. Given these data, choose the most likely statement.The gray allele is dominant and all the tan moles are homozygousThe tan allele is dominant and all the tan moles are homozygousThe gray allele is dominant and all the gray moles are homozygousThe tan allele is dominant and all the gray moles are homozygous
