In rabbits, there are four alleles at the c locus. Arranged in dominance sequence they are:C

(agouti), cch (chinchilla), ch (Himalayan), and c (albino)
(a) Is it possible to cross two agouti rabbits and produce both chinchilla and Himalayan
offspring?
(b) Is it possible to cross two chinchillas and produce 1/2 chinchilla and 1/2 Himalayan? What will be an ideal response?
