it is homozygous for fur color
Explanation:
the only way a body will develop and show a recessive trait is if it's genotype is homozygous because any dominant allele will automatically make the rabbit develop the dominant color not the recessive. bb should be it's genotype.
I found the whole exercise on the internet. Here are the events mentioned:
"-<span>Mismatched bases in the heteroduplex trigger mismatch repair.
-Gaps in the R (wild-type) allele sequence are filled by copying the r (mutant) allele.
-A heteroduplex is formed between </span>R (wild-type) and r (mutant) alleles.
-Mismatched bases are excised from the R (wild-type) allele.
-The wild-type R allele is converted to the mutant r allele."
The correct order is:
1. Gaps in the R (wild-type) allele sequence are filled by copying the r (mutant) allele.
2. A heteroduplex is formed between R (wild-type) and r (mutant) alleles.
3. Mismatched bases in the heteroduplex trigger mismatch repair.
4. Mismatched bases are excised from the R (wild-type) allele.
5. The wild-type R allele is converted to the mutant r allele.
