Albino rabbits are rabbits that don't have any pigmentation in their fur or eyes. Their eyes appear pink and their fur appears pure white. The gene for albinism is a recessive gene. If an albino rabbit (bb) breeds with a brown rabbit (Bb), what is the percent chance that they will produce an albino rabbit?
A.
75%
B.
25%
C.
50%
D.
100%
The Punnett square for the cross between an albino rabbit (bb) and a brown rabbit (Bb) would be:
| B b
--------|--------------
b | Bb bb
From the Punnett square, we can see that there is a 50% chance of producing an albino rabbit (bb). Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. 50%
