Title: I have a question about coat color inheritance for rabbits of different variety?
Post by: julia.s on Mar 14, 2013
Phenotype                         Allele
Dark Gray Coat                 C                 Pattern of Inheritance
Chinchilla                           c^ch             Dominant to all other alleles
Himalayan                          c^h              Dominant to alleles
White                                 c                 Recessive

List all possible genotypes for a
a. Dark gray-coated rabbit (there are 4)
b. Chinchilla rabbit (there are 3)
c. Himalayan rabbit (there are 2)
d. white rabbit(there are 1)
please be sure to list every single genotype for each letter please!!

i think the gene thingg, is like big B and little b, it was like big B eqaul black hair and lil b equaled white hair, if the dude rabbit has big B, lil b then like the mom has two lil b's then it's most likely to be a lil b, but i guess in some situation, it could be luck and get that big B from big uncle steve, maybe some times concieve a black bunny.
