Question

In rabbits, an allelic series helps to determine coat color: C (full color), c (chinchilla, gray color) c^b (Himalayan, while with black extremities), and c (albino, all white) the C allele is dominant over all others. e^th is dominant oven c^1, and c, is dominant over c. and c is recessive to all the other alleles This dominance hierarchy can be summarized as C > c > x > c. the rabbi in the following List are crossed and produce the progeny shown Give the serotypes of the parents for each cross. Phenotypes of parents Phenotypes of offspring full color times albino Himalayan times albino full color times albino full color times Himalayan full color times full color 1/2 full color 1/2 albino 1/2 Himalayan 1/2 albino 1/2 full color, 1/2 chinchilla 1/2 full color. 1/2 Himalayan. 1/2 albino 1/2 full color 1/2 albino

Explanation / Answer

Full color = C; Chinchila/gray color = Cch; Himalayan = Ch; Albino/white = c. And the dominant hirarchy = C > Cch > Ch > c

a. Full color (Cc) x albino (cc) ------------> 1/2 full color & 1/2 albino

b. Himalayan (Chc) x Albino (cc) -----------> 1/2 Himalayan & 1/2 albino

c. Full color (CCch) x Albino (cc) -----------> 1/2 Full color & 1/2 Chinchila

d. Full color (Cc) x Himalayan (Chc) -----------> 1/2 Full color, 1/4 Himalayan & 1/4 albino

e. Full color (Cc) x Full color (Cc) --------> 3/4 full color & 1/4 Albino:
