In rabbits, the homozygous genotype LCLC has straight 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 percent of the offspring would be expected to have deformed legs and white fur?

The cross between brown rabbits with deformed legs (FBFb LCLc) and white rabbits with deformed legs (FbFb LCLc) will produce offspring with the following genotypes:FBFb LCLC (brown, straight legs)FBFb LCLc (brown, deformed legs)FbFb LCLC (white, straight legs)FbFb LCLc (white, deformed legs)The probability of getting offspring with deformed legs and white fur is 1/4 or 25%.
