A population of rabbits in a controlled environment contains rabbits with brown fur or white fur. The allele for brown fur (B) is dominant to the allele for white fur (b). There are 100 rabbits in the population. Of the 100 rabbits, 91 of them have brown fur and 9 of them have white fur. The fur color of each genotype is shown.
