Two heterozygous white (brown fur is recessive) rabbits are crossed.

Asked by shammajk

Answer (2)

In the cross between two **heterozygous **white rabbits, the offspring would exhibit a phenotypic ratio of 3 (white fur) : 1 (brown fur). This color distribution is governed by the principles of Mendelian inheritance and reflects the existence of multiple alleles. ;

The cross of two heterozygous white rabbits (Cc) results in an expected phenotypic ratio of 3:1, meaning 75% of the offspring are expected to have white fur and 25% are expected to have brown fur. This is calculated using a Punnett square to analyze the genetic combinations. The observed ratios follow the principles of Mendelian inheritance, highlighting the dominance of the white fur allele over the brown fur allele.
