Answer:

Its a recessive gene

Explanation:

It was passed down by their grandparents, or great grandparents

The two brown furred rabbits can produce white furred offspring if both parent stocks are heterogenous brown rabbits (Bb x Bb).

  • [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] or 25% of the offspring will be white furred (bb) as shown in cross done with a Punnett Square (see attachment below for evidence).

Recall:

  • A recessive trait will be expressed in an offspring if two copies of the recessive genes for a trait are present in the offspring.

Let's assume the gene for brown fur is dominant over the gene for white fur.

  • Using B to represent gene for brown fur
  • b to present gene for white fur

Therefore, the two brown furred rabbits can produce white furred offspring if both parent stocks are heterogenous brown rabbits (Bb x Bb).

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] or 25% of the offspring will be white furred (bb) as shown in cross done with a Punnett Square (see attachment below for evidence).
