Question
- in rabbits, black fur (b) is dominant to white fur (b). a purebred (homozygous) black - furred male is bred with a female that has the recessive white fur.
Step1: Determine the genotypes
The purebred (homozygous) black - furred male has the genotype \(BB\). The female with recessive white fur has the genotype \(bb\).
Step2: Create the Punnett square
The male can only contribute \(B\) gametes. The female can only contribute \(b\) gametes.
| \(b\) | \(b\) | |
|---|---|---|
| \(B\) | \(Bb\) | \(Bb\) |
Step3: Calculate the probabilities
All offspring have the genotype \(Bb\). Since \(B\) (black fur) is dominant, all offspring will have black fur. The probability of black fur is \(\frac{4}{4}=100\%\), and the probability of white fur is \(\frac{0}{4} = 0\%\).
