1.In rabbits, black fur is dominant to white
fur. If you cross a BB male with a Bb female,
what are the possible
genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring?
What is the percent chance for each type?
2.In cabbage butterflies, White wings are
dominant to yellow wings., If a Ww butterfly is
crossed with a ww
butterfly what are the possible genotypes and
phenotypes of the offspring and the percent
chance for each?
