Carrier basics: a carrier has one dominant and one recessive version of a gene (e.g.
Bb). The dominant (uppercase) masks the recessive (lowercase), so you usually
can’t see the recessive color unless both copies are recessive (e.g.
bb).
- Ways to know: DNA/coat-color testing; test breeding to a known mate; reliable pedigree/parent info; or past litters that prove what allele they pass.
- Use “I don’t know my rabbit’s carriers” if you don’t have proof—we’ll simulate extra litters to cover plausible carrier cases.
