Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, buckle up, since this isn't your average "the answer is C" explanation. Sorry beforehand for this upcoming essay. To make this easier, I'll give out the answers to start and then leave a "Why?" portion in case you want an in-depth explanation. I recommend getting the answers first since I can tell you're in a hurry, but if you get the chance look over a thing or two I said. Now:

To start, the 4 genotypes for the Dark Gray Rabbit are DD, Dd
^(ch), Dd
^h, and Dd.

Why? Well, we know Dark Gray is dominant to all other alleles, so a Dark Gray allele with any other allele will produce a Dark Gray Rabbit.

The same concept above applies to the other rabbits:

The Chinchilla rabbit is d
^(ch)d
^(ch), d
^(ch)d
^h, and d
^(ch)d.

The Himalayan rabbit is d
^hd
^h and d
^hd.

The Albino rabbit is dd.

Part 2:

Chinchilla Rabbit

Why? Because you have 2 Chinchilla alleles, and since they don't dominate and aren't dominated by any other allele, the rabbit will be a Chinchilla Rabbit.

Dark Gray Rabbit

Why? Same rule of dominance, and plus, it was one of the phenotypes listed in the first question.

For the table, look at the help image.

And finally, for the plan, the first set of rabbits with have a 50% chance of producing a dd
^h rabbit, which is a Himalayan rabbit. Then, breeding two of these will ALWAYS give you a Himalayan rabbit.

Why? Because the only alleles are d and d
^h, and since d
^h is always dominant of d, there will never be a case where that rabbit is albino (thus always Himalayan)

Hope you got it all down, and glad I could be of any service.
