Question

Northern foxes have black fur as the dominant trait, while red fur as the recessive trait. The genotype for the fur color of northern foxes is given below. Identify the phenotype for each of the following: Bb
-black fur
-red fur
-both black and red fur color
-Orange color

Answer 1

Bb is black fur because the dominant (always shown as the capital in this case B) is always shown when present. the red fur is a recessive trait (always shown as the lower case in this case b) and is only shown when there’s no dominant allele present
