Question

complete the punnett square to show all possible genotypes of the offspring from a cross between two rabbits: one with an albino coat and one with a full - color coat carrying a himalayan allele.
write the genotypes so that dominant alleles come before recessive alleles.
t t^h
t
t

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the genotypes of the parents

The rabbit with an albino coat has the genotype \(tt\) (since albino is recessive). The rabbit with a full - color coat carrying a Himalayan allele has the genotype \(Tt^{h}\) (where \(T\) is the allele for full - color and \(t^{h}\) is the Himalayan allele).

Step2: Fill in the Punnett square

When we cross \(tt\) (parent 1) with \(Tt^{h}\) (parent 2):

• For the first \(t\) from parent 1 and \(T\) from parent 2: the genotype is \(Tt\)
• For the first \(t\) from parent 1 and \(t^{h}\) from parent 2: the genotype is \(t^{h}t\) (which can be written as \(tt^{h}\))
• For the second \(t\) from parent 1 and \(T\) from parent 2: the genotype is \(Tt\)
• For the second \(t\) from parent 1 and \(t^{h}\) from parent 2: the genotype is \(t^{h}t\) (which can be written as \(tt^{h}\))

Answer:

The genotypes in the Punnett square (from left - to - right, top - to - bottom) are \(Tt\), \(tt^{h}\), \(Tt\), \(tt^{h}\)
