Guinea pig coat color is determined by a single gene. The allele for black coat color is dominant to brown. In a cross between two black-haired guinea pigs, 20 offspring are born. If both parents were heterozygous, probability would predict that approximately how many of the 20 offspring would have brown hair?

In guinea pigs coat color is determined by a single gene with two alleles. A guinea pig from a true-breeding black strain is mated with a guinea pig from a true-breeding white strain. The F1 progeny are all black. Two of the F1 progeny are mated with each other. A. What proportion of the F2 progeny is expected to be white? B. What proportion of the black F2 progeny is expected to be homozygous?

In guinea pigs, black fur color (B) is dominant over white (W). A white male guinea pig, whose parents were both black, was bred with a female with black fur whose father had black fur and mother had white fur. Determine the genotypes of all involved and then calculate the percentage of offspring expected to have white fur from this cross.

Coat color in guinea pigs is controlled by single pair of alleles When 20 purebred white guinea pigs are bred with black male guinea pig of unknown ancestry, 35 of the offspring are white in color and 42 are black in color. What is the likely genotype of the original black male guinea pig? Is the white color controlled by dominant or recessive allele?
