In rabbits, if B is the dominant black allele and b is the recessive white allele, which of these genotypes (Bb, BB, bb) could represent a white rabbit. Why?

Step 1
In this case, B (black) is dominant over b (white). Second, we need to know that each organism has two alleles for each trait, one from each parent. These alleles can be the same (BB or bb) or different (Bb). Now, if we look at the genotypes given (Bb, BB, Show more…

What are the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring when a black rabbit male (Bb) is crossed with a white female (bb)? (B = black; b = white)
Nagamalla R.
The rabbit fur color alleles show incomplete dominance. If you cross a black rabbit (BB) with a white rabbit (bb), all of the offspring will exhibit which phenotype?
Joanna Q.
If two white rabbits produce a black offspring, the parents' genotypes for color must be: A. Heterozygous B. Homozygous white C. Homozygous black D. Not enough information was given
