In rabbits, a series of multiple alleles controls coat color in the following way: \(C\) is dominant to all other alleles and causes full color. The chinchilla phenotype is due to the \(c^{\mathrm{ch}}\) allele, which is dominant to all alleles other than \(C\). The \(c^{h}\) allele, dominant only to \(c^{a}\) (albino), results in the Himalayan coat color. Thus, the order of dominance is \(C>c^{\mathrm{dh}}>c^{h}>c^{a} .\) For each of the fol- lowing three cases, the phenotypes of the \(\mathrm{P}_{1}\) generations of two crosses are shown, as well as the phenotype of one member of the \(\mathrm{F}_{1}\) generation. For each case, determine the genotypes of the \(P_{1}\) generation and the \(\mathrm{F}_{1}\) offspring, and predict the results of making each indicated cross between \(F_{1}\) individuals.

Answer: Case 1 (Chinchilla x Chinchilla): P1 Generation: Genotypes - \(c^{\mathrm{ch}}c^{\mathrm{ch}}\) for both rabbits, Phenotypes - Chinchilla for both rabbits. F1 Generation: Genotypes - \(c^{\mathrm{ch}}c^{\mathrm{ch}}\) for all offspring, Phenotypes - Chinchilla for all offspring. Case 2 (Full color x Himalayan): P1 Generation: Genotypes - \(Cc^{\mathrm{h}}\) for the full-color rabbit and \(c^{\mathrm{h}}c^{\mathrm{h}}\) for the Himalayan rabbit, Phenotypes - Full color for one rabbit, Himalayan for the other rabbit. F1 Generation: Genotypes - \(Cc^{\mathrm{h}}\) for all offspring, Phenotypes - Full color for all offspring. Case 3 (Himalayan x Himalayan): P1 Generation: Genotypes - \(c^{\mathrm{h}}c^{\mathrm{h}}\) for both rabbits, Phenotypes - Himalayan for both rabbits. F1 Generation: Genotypes - \(c^{\mathrm{h}}c^{\mathrm{h}}\) for all offspring, Phenotypes - Himalayan for all offspring.
