Answer:

Black

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A dominant allele for a given gene is the one that can express itself in both homozygous as well as heterozygous conditions.
  • In the given question it has been stated that the allele B is dominant over b, and since the allele B codes for black coat color, this means that the rabbit having the phenotype BB will have black coat color.
