Albino rabbits are rabbits that don't have any pigmentation in their fur or eyes. Their eyes appear pink and their fur appears pure white. The gene for albinism is a recessive gene. If an albino rabbit (bb) breeds with a brown rabbit (Bb), what is the percent chance that they will produce an albino rabbit?

Question

A.
100%

B.
50%

C.
25%

D.
75%

Answer 1

The correct answer is 50%.

When an albino rabbit (bb) breeds with a brown rabbit (Bb), the possible genotypes of the offspring are Bb and bb.

Out of these possible genotypes, only one includes the recessive gene for albinism (bb). Therefore, there is a 50% chance that they will produce an albino rabbit.
