Rabbit coat color is influenced by two independently
assorting genes. The first gene produces a dominant black color, B,
or cream color, b. The second gene allows for the pigment encoded
by the first gene to be transported to the cells of the hair. The
dominant allele, C, allows for the transportation of the pigment,
while the recessive allele, c, prevents the transport and can
result in an albino phenotype. (Please show work when answering if
possible
)
a) what gene interaction is occurring between genes B and C?
b) ,matings between black rabbits of identical genotypes
produced offspring as followed: 14 cream colored, 47 black, and 19
albino. What are the genotypes of the parents?
c) what are the genotypes of the phenotype categories of
offspring, and how far does the gene interaction explain the
phenotype ratios?
