Create a Punnett Square to illustrate the probability of a black rabbit if a white male were mated with a black female. Use W for white, which is dominant, and b for black, which is recessive (hint: create a Punnett Square for a homozygous white male and a heterozygous white male).

There you go!! The Pheno type is 100% white male and Genotype is 100% Wb

Answer:

0%

Step-by-step explanation:

Allele for white colour is represeted by w.

Allele for black colour is represented by b.

b allele is recessive to w allele.

Homozygous white rabbit will have the genotype ww.

Heterozygous white rabbit will have the genotype wb.

Crossing ww and wb:

ww x wb = ww, wb, ww, and wb

Since w is dominant over b, it means all of the offspring are white with 50% being homozygous and 50% being heterozygous.

The probability of a black rabbit offspring is 0%.

See the image for the Punnet square analysis.
