In rabbits, gray hair is dominant to white hair. Also in rabbits, black eyes are dominant to red eyes.
a. What are the phenotypes (descriptions) of rabbits that have the following genotypes?
Ggbb,ggBB, ggbb,GgBb ,
b. A male rabbit with the genotype GGbb is crossed with a female rabbit with the genotype ggBb the square is set up below. Fill it out and determine the phenotypes and proportions in the offspring.
c. Show the cross between a ggBb and a GGBb.
Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query
a. Phenotypes of the following genotypes are:
