In rabbits, black coat color is due to a dominant

gene B, brown coat color is due to a recessive
gene b. Short hair is due to a dominant gene S,
long hair to its recessive allele s. In a cross
between 2 heterozygous black, short haired
rabbits, what would be the phenotypic ratio of
the offspring?

In horses, black color is dependent upon a

dominant gene B, and chestnut upon its
recessive allele b. The trotting gait is due to a
dominant gene T and the pacing gait to its
recessive allele t. if a homozygous black pacer
is mated to a homozygous chestnut trotter,
what will the genotype and phenotype of the F1
generation be?
