No chance, 2 female carrier and 2 males colorblind B. Yes, 1 female carrier, 1 female color blind, 1 male with normal color vision and 1 male colorblind C. Yes, 1 female colorblind and 2 males with normal vision and 1 male colorblind D. Yes, 2 males with normal color vision and 2 females carrier

A true-breeding rabbit with agouti (mottled, grayish brown) fur crossed with a true-breeding rabbit with chinchilla (silver) fur produces all agouti offspring. A true-breeding chinchilla rabbit crossed with a true-breeding Himalayan rabbit (white fur with pigmented nose, ears, tail, and legs) produces all chinchilla offspring. A true-breeding Himalayan rabbit crossed with a true-breeding albino rabbit produces all Himalayan offspring. Explain the inheritance of the fur colors.
