Professor John decided to breed bunnies during stay-at-home because why not. She performed the following cross: Parents: brown fur, gray nose x white fur, gray nose Offspring: 3/8 white fur, gray nose 1/8 white fur, white nose 3/8 brown fur, gray nose     1/8 brown fur, white nose Based on the phenotypes of the offspring, what are the genotypes of the parents? Make sure you define your genotypes (ie B is brown fur, b is white fur)
