Probability in biology; please help me answer part D. In many mammals, including rabbits, there is a hair texture known as angora, in which thehair is long and soft. Angora rabbits are highly prized for the quality of their fur. A rabbitbreeder has four rabbits: an angora male, an angora female, a short-haired male, and ashort-haired female. (The sex of the rabbits is not relevant to the solution.) He made thefollowing crosses with the outcomes shown.Angora female x angora male = all angoraAngora female x short male = all shortShort female x angora male = 4 short and 5 angoraa. Which phenotype is dominant?b. What are the genotypes of each of the parents?c. If the short female and the short male were mated to each other, what fraction of theoffspring is expected to have short hair?d. Even for experts, the sex of rabbits is very difficult to determine, but the breeder wantsto keep the males and females separate as much as possible. When the mating in (c) isperformed, a litter of five rabbits is born. What is the probability that at least one of thefive is a female?

A yellow female is crossed with a gray male. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the genotypes and phenotypes, along with the expected proportions, of the F1 and F2 progeny.
A dog breeder liked yellow and brown Labrador retrievers. In an attempt to produce yellow and brown puppies, he mated a yellow Labrador male and a brown Labrador female. Unfortunately, all the puppies produced in this cross were black. Q. Explain this result.
Male cats are either black (B) or orange (O). Females are black, orange, or calico, which has patches of black and orange. Calico is formed from the codominance between the two alleles in the heterozygote, so a calico cat is (XB XO). Give the genotype and phenotype ratio of a cross between an orange male cat and a calico cat.
