Find the genotype of the offspring from the crossing of 2 heterozygous rabbits with white coat color

Find the genotype of the offspring from the crossing of 2 heterozygous rabbits with white coat color, recessive trait black color.

Let’s designate the gene that causes the development of white wool in rabbits as K, then the gene for black wool color will be designated as k.

Rabbits are, according to the condition, heterozygous. They have the Kk genotypes and are capable of producing two types of germ cells – K and k.

When such rabbits are crossed among themselves, the offspring will include the following possible options:

homozygous rabbits with white hair (KK) – 25%;

homozygous rabbits with black hair (kk) – 25%;

heterozygous rabbits with white hair (Kk) – 50%.
