In rabbits, an allelic series helps to determine coat color at the color C locus: C (full color), cch(chinchilla; gray color), ch (Himalayan; white with black extremities), and c (albino; all white). The C allele is dominant to all others, cch is dominant to ch and c, ch is dominant to c, and c is recessive to all the other alleles. What types of progeny would you predict from a cross of Cch x cch

1 Full color : 1 Himalayan

Explanation:

This question is depicting the multiple allele phenomenon in rabbits where four different alleles are responsible for coat color. The alleles are:

- C codes for full color

- cch codes for chinchilla; gray color

- ch codes for Himalayan; white with black extremities, and

- c codes for albino; all white

However, according to the question, the order of dominance of these alleles is: C > cch > ch > c. Hence, in a cross between Cch x chc, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:

Cch - C and ch

chc - ch and c

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following genotypic proportion of offsprings will be produced;

Cc = full color

Cch = full color

chc = Himalayan (white with black extremities)

chch = Himalayan (white with black extremities)

Hence, full color and Himalayan are the types of progeny that will be predicted from the cross.

it takes hundreds of years to become stable.

if you have another question lmk.
