MONOHYBRID CROSS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A homozygous brown bunny is crossed with a homozygous black bunny. If black fur is a dominant trait, and brown is a recessive, what are the chances of getting a brown bunny?
A
100 %
B
0 %
C
75 %
D
25 %
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the genotype of heterozygous rabbit will be Bb and that of homozygous recessive will be bb.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, one out of 9 black long fur progeny will be homozygous for both the genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -In rabbits, black skin (B) is dominant over brown skin (b) and short hair (S) is dominant over long hair (s). If a homozygous black skin, short-haired male is crossed with a homozygous brown skin, long-haired female, all F1 offspring are heterozygous black and short-haired.

Detailed explanation-4: -In rabbit, black skin (B) is dominant over brown skin (b), and short hair (S) is dominant over long hair (s). All F1 offsprings are heterozygous black-short haired.
