In some bunnies, the gene for fur color is controlled by condominance. The allele for gray color is G and the allele white color
is W. The heterozygous phenotype results in a gray and white bunny/ What is the genotype for gray bunnies? what is the genotype for white bunnies? what is the genotype for gray and white bunnies?
In diploid species (2n), organisms receive one gene copy (allele) from each parent. Codominance is a relationship that occurs when both alleles of the same gene show dominance. In consequence, the expression of both alleles in heterozygous individuals results in a new phenotype. In this example, the expression of G and W alleles results in a gray and white phenotype. Examples of codominance include individuals with type AB blood group in humans or the roan coat color in horses.
