Completely eliminate the brown gene

Reference no: EM13526836

A mouse breeder has a strain of black mice that normally breed true and produce only black mice. Occasionally, however, a brown mouse or two has appeared in litters of some of the mice. If the brown mice are killed as soon as they are born, how many generations will it take to completely eliminate the brown gene?
