Predict the fur color of the offspring of a brown heterozygous rabbit and a white homozygous rabbit. Brown is dominant and white is recessive. Use B for dominant and b for recessive.

What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the new generation?

What are the percentages of brown and white rabbits?

Answer:

To predict the results of the offspring from a cross between brown heterozygous rabbit and a white homozygous rabbit, a punnet square can be drawn as follows:

        b        b

B   Bb         Bb

b   bb         bb

The results from the punnet square show that there is 2:2 ratio that the offspring will be brown coloured or white coloured. The genotype of the rabbits will either be heterozygous brown i.e Bb or homozygous white bb.

there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be brown rabbit and there is also a 50% chance that the offspring can be a white rabbit.

For the offspring produced, the genotypes are Bb and bb; the phenotypes are two brown and two white; while the percentage of brown and white rabbits is 50% each.

What are genotypes and phenotypes?

Genotype refers to the sum total of the genetic composition of an organisms.

Phenotype refers to the physical expression of the genotype of an organism.

The cross is shown below:

Bb × bb = Bb, Bb, bb and bb

The genotypes are Bb and bb

The phenotype is two brown and two white.

The percentage of brown and white rabbits is 50% each.

Therefore, the genotype and phenotype of the the offspring are based on the dominant and recessive traits inherited from parents.
