The coat color of rabbits is controlled at many different gene loci.

The primary control occurs for red or black color at two sites.

The Extension site controls whether the animal is red or not red. ee being red and Ee or EE not red. This site overrides the information present at the other primary color site Agouti. If a rabbit is ee (red) the genetics at the agouti site is masked.

If the rabbit is EE or Ee then the information at the Agouti site shows and an aaEe or aaEE rabbit is black. A rabbit that is A-E- is agouti.

There are over a dozen modifying genes.

The dilution gene can make a black rabbit, blue or a red rabbit, lilac. Other genes control: chinchilla, sable, torte, yellow, smokey, albino, spotting blue-eyed white, Siamese, black and tan, belted, etc.

There are a number of sites that give specifics on rabbit color genetics.

How many different combinations of the five traits are possible?

There are 2^5 = 32 different combinations of the five traits possible.


What is the probability of obtaining a dominant phenotype from self-fertilization of a heterozygous individual is?

The probability of obtaining a dominant phenotype from self-fertilization of a heterozygous individual is 75%. This is because in a heterozygous individual, there is a 50% chance of passing on the dominant allele and a 50% chance of passing on the recessive allele. With self-fertilization, the possible combinations are: 1 dominant allele (25%), 2 dominant alleles (50%), and 1 recessive allele (25%). Dominant phenotype will be expressed if there are one or more dominant alleles present.


What are the possible genotypes of the gametes in a genetic cross involving the keyword "genotypes"?

The possible genotypes of the gametes in a genetic cross involving the keyword "genotypes" are determined by the specific alleles present in the parents. These genotypes can be represented by different combinations of alleles, such as homozygous dominant (AA), homozygous recessive (aa), or heterozygous (Aa).


What are the possible genotypes of the gametes?

The possible genotypes of gametes are determined by the genetic makeup of an individual and can include combinations of dominant and recessive alleles.


What is the difference between a homozygous individual and a heterozygous individual?

In genetics, homozygous genes are identical alleles, while heterozygous genes have different alleles. For example, TT(same alleles) is homozygous genotype, while Tt (different alleles) is a heterozygous genotype.

How many phenotypically different types of offspring are possible in a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous individuals?

In a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous individuals, there are 16 phenotypically different types of offspring possible. This is because there are 2^4 = 16 possible combinations of alleles that can be inherited from the parental generation.


What are the three different combinations of alleles?

If the gene for a trait has two alleles, one dominant (D) and one recessive (d) there are three possible combinations in the genotype: DD (homozygous dominant) Dd (heterozygous) dd (homozygous recessive)

How many different combinations are possible from the union of 1 egg and 1 sperm?

There are millions of possible combinations.


How many different type of gametes would an AabbDdEeGg individual produce?

4 The reason why the answer is 4 is because 2 of the pairs are heterozygous. When calculating possible gametes you take the number of heterozygous pairs and multiply them by each other (or raise 2 to the power equal to the number of heterozygous pairs you have). Therefore, since there are 2 heterozygous pairs in this genotype you multiply 2x2 (or 2^2).


How many different combinations are possible multiplying 8 different 7 digit numbers?

How many different combinations of 4 are possible from 6 items?

How many different combinations are possible if a coin is tossed twice and a number cube is tossed once?

18 different combinations. When a coin is tossed twice there are four possible outcomes, (H,H), (H,T), (T,H) and (T,T) considering the order in which they appear (first or second). But if we are talking of combinations of the two individual events, then the order in which they come out is not considered. So for this case the number of combinations is three: (H,H), (H,T) and (T,T). For the case of tossing a die once there are six possible events. The number of different combinations when tossing a coin twice and a die once is: 3x6 = 18 different combinations.
