In rabbits, full coat color (C) is the dominant trait. A second allele, chinchilla (cch) is recessive to full coat color. Himalayan coat color (ch) is recessive to chinchilla and full coat colors, and albino (c) is recessive to all coat colors. If a heterozygous chinchilla rabbit mates with a homozygous Himalayan rabbit, what is the expected phenotypic ratio in their offspring?

Answer:

50% Chinchilla y 50% Himalaya

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case one parent is chinchilla as dominant trait, plus another recesive trait, which can be himalaya or albino. The offspring will be 50% Chinchilla y 50% Himalaya, because the trait himalaya is recessive to Chinchilla, and albino is recessive to himalaya.

Cchch (Chinchilla+himalaya or albino ) x chch (himalaya) :

1- Cchch Chinchilla

1- Cchch Chinchilla

1- chch himalaya

1- chch himalaya
