Use the following information to answer the next question
Multiple alleles control the coat colour of rabbits.
- The dominant allele, C, produces grey colour.
- The Cch allele produces silver grey (chinchilla) colour when homozygous.
- The Ch allele is recessive to both the full colour allele and the chinchilla allele.
- The Ch allele produces a white colour with black extremities (Himalyan)
- The Ca allele is recessive to all other alleles, and produces no pigment (albino).
The dominance hierarchy is C > Cch > Ch > Ca.
The table below provides the possible genotypes and phenotypes for coat colour in rabbits. Notice that four genotypes are possible for full-colour but only one for albino.
Phenotypes: Full Colour; Genotypes: CC, CCch, CCh, CCa
Phenotypes: Chinchilla; Genotypes: CchCch
Phenotypes: Light grey; Genotypes: CchCh, CchCa
Phenotypes: Himalayan; Genotypes: ChCh, ChCa
Phenotypes: Albino; Genotypes: CaCa
5. In a cross, a full colour rabbit (CCa) is mated to a light grey rabbit (CchCa). Calculate the theoretical probability of this cross producing each of the following phenotypes shown below. Record your answers based on your punnett square, if there are no phenotypes able to be expressed record that value as 0.
Full Color | Chinchilla | Light Grey | Himalayan | Albino
