- Four alleles determine a rabbit’s coat colour: agouti (C), chinchilla (cch), Himalayan (ch), and albino (c). The order of dominance is C > cch > ch > c. A chinchilla rabbit is crossed with an albino rabbit. What are the possible phenotypes of the offspring? Select one: a. Chinchilla and Himalayan b. Chinchilla, Himalayan, albino, and agouti c. Chinchilla, Himalayan, and albino d. Chinchillaarrow_forwardIn the multiple allele series that determines coat color in rabbits, Ct > Ch (chinchilla) > ch (himalayan), dominance is from left to right as shown.

What is the correct order of the genes on the chromosome? (5 points) (Hints: You should draw it first. The overall order will not change whether reading from the left or the right side of the chromosome). a. G--R--L b. L--G--R c. G--L--Rarrow_forwardRabbit fur is determined by multiple alleles. Solid color is controlled by the Ic allele, the chinchilla by the Ich allele, the Himalayan by Ih and the albino by i. The dominance hierarchy of these alleles is Ic> Ich> Ih> i.

- An allelic series determines coat color in rabbits: C (full color), cch (chinchilla, gray color), c* (Himalayan, white with black extremities), and c (albino, all white). The C allele is dominant over all others, cch is dominant over c and c, ch is dominant over c, and c is recessive to all other alleles. This dominance hierarchy can be summarized as C> cch > c^ > c. The rabbits in the table are crossed and produce the progeny shown. Cross Parents Offspring А full color x albino 50% full color, 50% albino В Himalayan x albino 50% Himalayan, 50% albino C full color x albino 50% full color, 50% chinchilla D full color × Himalayan 50% full color, 25% Himalayan, 25% albino E full color x full color 75% full color, 25% albino Match the parental genotypes to the letter corresponding to the appropriate cross listed in the table.
