This guide provides a detailed procedure for breeding the first generation of bunnies. Start by preparing a data table and gathering 50 heterozygous (Ff) bunnies along with red and white beans. Set up the breeding environment and genotype cups, then follow the step-by-step process of selecting beans to determine baby bunnies' genotypes (FF, Ff, ff) and recording results. Ensure to manage the graveyard for the ff bunnies that do not survive winter. Count the surviving alleles and prepare to enter the next generation of breeding.

The cold of winter sets in…. • The ff bunnies are born furless. The cold weather kills them before they reach reproductive age, so they can NOT pass on their genes. • Place the beans from the ff container in the bunny graveyard before beginning the next generation (round). ff Bunny Grave Yard
Count the SURVIVING f alleles (white beans) Ff Furry bunnies That Carry the Lethal “f” allele • Count the number of “f” allele (white beans) in the heterozygous genotype cup • Record
To begin Generation 2 • Place all the surviving bunny alleles in the “meadow” bag to breed the next generation. “Meadow” FF Ff
