Answer: a) Cch x   Ccch

               b)  Ccch x  Cc

               c)   Cch  x   cchch

               d)  cchc x   chc

Explanation:

<u>Data</u>:

  • Coat color in rabbits is under the control of a single gene with

four alleles: C (full gray color); cch (chinchilla, light gray); ch

(Himalayan, white with black extremities); and c (albino, absence

of pigmentation).

  • The dominance hierarchy is represented as: C >cch > ch > c.

<u>Possible genotypes</u>:

  • <em>For full gray color</em>: CC (Gray), Ccch (Gray-2), Cch (Gray-1), Cc (Gray-3). The allele <em>"C" dominates over the other three alleles</em>, so in every combination where "C" is present, the animal will be fully grayed.
  • <em>For light gray color/Chinchilla</em>: cchcch (Chinchilla), cchch (Chinchilla-1), cchc (Chinchilla-2). The allele <em>"cch" dominates over "ch" and "c"</em>, <em>but not over "C"</em>. So if the allele "C" is combined with "cch", the animal will be fully grayed, but in any other combination with "cch", the animal will be light grayed.
  • <em>For white with black extremities/Himalayan</em>: chch (Hymalayan), chc (Hymalayan-1). The allele <em>"ch" that determines the Himalayan color is only dominant over the allele "c"</em>. But in combination with any other allele, "ch" behaves as a recessive one.
  • <em>For albino</em>: cc. In the presence of any of the other alleles, the allele <em>"c" always behaves as a recessive one.</em> The only possibility of getting an albino animal is if "c" combines with another "c".
