If we can treat "black and white" as a single allele that is dominant, let's call it B.
"Brown and white" as a recessive single allele can be called b.
Because offspring were both brown and black, we know both parents must have a b allele, and at least one must have a B allele.
If we complete a Punnett square for two heterozygous parents, we get results of 25% homozygous dominant (BB), 50% heterozygous (Bb), and 25% homozygous recessive (bb). In terms of physical gene expression, 75% of offspring would be black and white, and 25% brown and white. Looking at the results we have, 3 brown and white and 8 black and white, the results are very close to the results of crossing two heterozygotes: we have about 73% black and white (8/11) and about 27% brown and white (3/11). So, the most probable genotype for each parent was that each parent was a heterozygote, with a genotype of (Bb.)

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.
