You are given two true-breeding strains of hamster. One strain has white fur color and the other has a dark brown fur color. When you cross the white-fur strain to the dark-brown-fur strain, you obtain F1 progeny that have a light brown fur color

When you cross the F1 progeny with each other, 25% of the F2 generation have white fur, 25% have dark brown fur, and 50% have light brown fur. How many genes crucial for fur coloration differ between the two starting strains? Explain your answer. Extra credit: Propose a molecular mechanism for how fur color is determined in this species of hamster.
