Question

Review the chart of all the domesticated rabbits. You are interested in producing pigmy striped rabbits. Once you have produced the pigmy striped rabbits, you want to be able to continue to produce more rabbits from the new stock. Is this possible? Explain. A) Yes. Since these are just types of different rabbits this is possible. B) You can breed them to produce a hybrid, but it will not be fertile since they are different rabbit species. C) No. You can only cross breed a pygmy rabbit with other cottontails because they are all in the same species. D) Yes, you can breed the two varieties of rabbits and produce fertile offs

Answer 1

I didn't understand what the person above me said and I guessed "B" on the USA Test Prep and it was right!

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the explanation it gave me:

You can breed them to produce a hybrid, but it will not be fertile since they are different rabbit species.. Check out the scientific names. They are not in the same species.

Answer 2

I couldn't find the chart anywhere, but if you have produced pigmy stripe rabbits already, it'll be possible interbreed the rabbits from the stock. I mean pigmy rabbit with pigmy rabbit only. Other type of rabbits are different species.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pigmy striped rabbits belong to Brachylagus genus, and are different enough from another types of rabbits to be crossed, and obtain fertile progeny.

Physically, pigmy rabbits are much smaller than a mean rabbit (European rabbits or cottontail rabbits), and probably their genitalia don't fit properly.

Apart from this, many other differences exist, although cottontail rabbits are the most similar, genetically speaking
