As we have discussed in Essential Genes & Lethal Genes -

  • The cross between two yellow mice resulted in a phenotypic ratio of 2:1 in F2 generation because the individual that was homozygous dominant for yellow allele could not survive. Hence, the allele conferring yellow color is lethal.
  • Hence, the correct option is (d).
