Question
in a group of rabbits, some individuals have black fur and others have brown fur. in this group, the gene for the fur color trait has two alleles. the allele for brown fur (f) is recessive to the allele for black fur (f).
chip is a rabbit from this group. chip has the homozygous genotype ff for the fur color gene.
based on this information, what is chips phenotype for the fur color trait?
brown fur
black fur
Recessive alleles only express their phenotype when present in a homozygous genotype. Here, the brown fur allele ($f$) is recessive, and Chip has the homozygous genotype $ff$, so this recessive trait will be expressed.
