B) 33 percent
C) about 66 percent
D) 100 percent

The cross between brown rabbits with deformed legs (BbCc) and white rabbits with deformed legs (bbCc) would produce offspring with the following genotypes: BbCc (brown fur, deformed legs), Bbcc (brown fur, very short legs), bbCc (white fur, deformed legs), and bbcc (white fur, very short legs). The percentage of offspring with deformed legs and white fur would be 25% (bbCc).
