Answer 1

In a population where the ratio of two phenotypes (in this case, brown fur and white fur) is 1:1, it indicates that both traits are equally represented. Therefore, the frequency of the white fur trait can be calculated as follows:

Since the ratio is 1:1, the total frequency for both phenotypes is 100%, and they are equally divided:

• Frequency of brown fur = 50%
• Frequency of white fur = 50%

Thus, the frequency of the white fur trait in the rabbit population is 50%.
