In rabbits, the homozygous genotype LᶜLᶜ has normal legs, LᶜLᶜ results in deformed legs, and LᶜLᶜ results in very short legs. The genotype FᴮFᴮ produces black fur, FᴮFᵇ brown fur, and FᵇFᵇ white fur. If a cross is made between brown rabbits with deformed legs and white rabbits with deformed legs, what percentage of the offspring would be expected to have deformed legs and white fur?

The cross between brown rabbits with deformed legs (FᴮFᵇLᶜLᶜ) and white rabbits with deformed legs (FᵇFᵇLᶜLᶜ) will produce offspring with the following genotypes:FᴮFᵇLᶜLᶜ (brown, deformed legs)FᵇFᵇLᶜLᶜ (white, deformed legs)FᴮFᵇLᶜLᶜ (brown, normal legs)FᵇFᵇLᶜLᶜ (white, normal legs)Therefore, 50% of the offspring would be expected to have deformed legs and white fur (FᵇFᵇLᶜLᶜ).
