In mice, spinning behavior is caused by a mutation in a gene that affects the mouse’s equilibrium. Two “spinning mice” are mated together. This mating results in a large number of offspring with a phenotypic ratio of 1/3 non-spinning mice to 2/3 spinning mice (or 1:2). What is the best explanation for this inheritance pattern?
