So based off the information that you are given about these guinea pigs, when you cross a bronze with a bronze, all of the offspring are bronze.
00:09
When you cross a bronze with a white, they all come out white.
00:12
And when you cross a white with a bronze, you get about a 50 -50 split.
00:16
So based off of this, i would say for question a, that white is your dominant allele.
00:27
B asks you to give the genotypes of the parents from these original cross -a.
00:34
So if white is dominant, and i can show you why i think that, i would use w for white.
00:39
So bronze would be little w, little w, right? so all of my bronzes would be little w, little w because that's the recessive.
00:47
This parent, this white parent here, i would say is big w, big w, most likely because all of the offspring ended up being white.
00:58
While this parent here is most likely big w, little w, because you have that 50 -50 split between the two phenotypes...
