Question

In rabbits the coat color black dominant (B) over chestnut (b). Short hair is dominant (S) over long (s). In a cross between a homozygous black short haired male and a brown long haired female, what would the possibilities for genotype and phenotype of the F1 generation?

Answer 1

F1 generation will be phenotype of both dominant alleles (black dominant B and short hair S) but will be carriers and have genotypes of both recessive alleles (chestnut b and long hair s).

The F2 generation will show recessive phenotype traits when crossed with another rabbit that also possesses recessive alleles.
