Question:
Coat color in rabbits is inherited as a series of multiple alleles. In the case of rabbits, there are four alleles and each one is expressed with a different phenotype. Look over the summary table below:
phenotype | allele | pattern of inheritance |
dark gray coat | C | dominant to all other alleles |
chinchilla | cch | dominant to Himilayan and to white |
Himilayan | ch | dominant to white |
white | c | Recessive |
11. What are the possible genotypes of a chinchilla rabbit?
12. A dark gray rabbit is crossed with a Himalayan rabbit. Their offspring are dark gray and chinchilla.
- What are the possible genotypes of the dark gray rabbit?
- If we continue to cross these rabbits and produce more offspring, will it ever be possible to get himlayan or white offspring?
13. What is the genotypic and phenotypic probabilities of the offspring is we cross a cchchrabbit witha heterozygous Himalayan rabbit?
Can i please get some insight on this
thank you in advance
