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.
75%

B.
25%

C.
50%

D.
100%

Answer 1

The Punnett square for the cross between an albino rabbit (bb) and a brown rabbit (Bb) would be:

| B b
--------|--------------
b | Bb bb

From the Punnett square, we can see that there is a 50% chance of producing an albino rabbit (bb). Therefore, the correct answer is:

C. 50%
