Albino rabbits are rabbits that don't have any pigmentation in their fur or eyes. Their eyes appear pink and their fur appears pure white. The gene for albinism is a recessive gene. If an albino rabbit (bb) breeds with a brown rabbit (Bb), what is the percent chance that they will produce an albino rabbit?
A.
100%
B.
50%
C.
25%
D.
75%
The correct answer is 50%.
When an albino rabbit (bb) breeds with a brown rabbit (Bb), the possible genotypes of the offspring are Bb and bb.
Out of these possible genotypes, only one includes the recessive gene for albinism (bb). Therefore, there is a 50% chance that they will produce an albino rabbit.
