What is the probability of albinism in the offspring of a cross between two rabbits with AaBb alleles?
a
1/16
b
3/16
c
4/16
d
9/16
The probability of albinism in the offspring of a cross between two rabbits with AaBb alleles can be calculated using Punnett squares.
We know that the AABB and aabb genotypes do not result in albinism, so we can ignore those possibilities.
The AaBb genotype has four possible allele combinations: AB, Ab, aB, and ab.
Out of these four combinations, only one combination (ab) will result in albino offspring.
So, the probability of albinism in the offspring is 1 out of 4 possible combinations, or 1/4.
Therefore, the correct answer is a) 1/16.
