Question

A rabbit is heterozygous for fur color. Black fur is dominant (B) and brown fur is recessive (b). Which describes the rabbit’s genotype and phenotype? genotype: black fur phenotype: BB genotype: black fur phenotype: Bb genotype: BB phenotype: black fur genotype: Bb phenotype: black fur

Answer 1

Genotype: Bb Phenotype: Black fur

Answer 2

The rabbit's genotype and phenotype would be Bb and black fur type respectively.

Genotype and Phenotype

Genotype refers to the genetic components of a trait while phenotype refers to the physical expression of a trait.

Since the rabbit is heterozygous, it means that the genotype consists of 2 different alleles, unlike homzygous genotypes that consist of the same alleles.

Thus, the genotype of the rabbit would be Bb.

Also, since B (black fur) is dominant over b (brown fur), the phenotype of Bb would be black fur.
