How can you tell whether a black guinea pig is homozygous or heterzygous when black fur is dominant over white fur?

You could try breeding it with a homozygous recessive partner (hh)
Lets assume that you breed the original mystery rabbit with an hh recessive partner, and they have 10 offspring.
If the original rabbit is homozygous dominant, it would be HH + hh, which would give all 10 the offspring Hh genotypes, which would give them the dominant hair color.
If it was heterozygous dominant, it would be Hh + hh, which would lead to either Hh or hh offspring. This means that in theory, 5 would be dominant colored while the other 5 would not be.

How could a guinea pig breeder whether a rough-coated guinea pig is homozygous or heteorzygous for this trait?
A rough-coat is recessive for this trait. Thus a rough-coat is heterozygous and a smooth-coat is homozygous.
If a homozygous black guinea pig is crossed with a homozygous white guinea pig what is the probability that an offspring will have black fur?
100% because BB is dominant over bb and all the crosses make Bb
What are facts about wild guinea pigs?
They stay in packs and when they travel they follow each other in a straight line in order of dominance with the dominant male as the leader XD i saw my guinea pigs do that when i let them explore the house.
Is it good to have one or two guinea pigs?
Yes. But It's best to know that they will most likely not get along at first. To fix that you will have to keep them in the same cage for about 2 weeks (It will give them time to show who is dominant). But otherwise, yes, guinea pigs do get lonely and should always have a friend. WARNING: NEVER GET YOUR GUINEA PIG A FRIEND AND THEN GIVE IT AWAY, THE GUINEA PIG WILL GET LONELY AND START BEING DEPRESSED AND MAY STOP EATING.
Do male guinea pigs hump each other?
It is a sign of dominance. However it isn't just males, the dominant of my two females does it too Hope this helped :) x

What color are the guinea pig parents in the cross shown in punnette square B?
This depends on what punnet square b looks like. A guinea pig is homozygous if its two alleles are both dominant or both recessive. Usually, the homozygous parent is the one with either the two capital letters in the genotype or the two lowercase letters. Heterozygous is when there is one uppercase letter and one lowercase letter in the genotype.
Which guinea pig parents in punnett square b is homozygous and which are heterozygous?
The side because they are the same. The top because they are different.
What is the genotype of two black heterozygous guinea pig?
here is my answer found using a Punnett Square: for one trait (lets use hair color) both guinea pigs are hazel. But, because they are heterozygous they also have the resessive gene for white. So, you cross Hh with Hh. You then have this genotypic ratio: 1 HH:2 Hh:1 hh This can be translated into a phenotypic ratio: 3 hazel: 1 white The final answer: You will have 25% homozygous dominant, 50% heterozygous (showing the dominant), and 25% homozygous recessive.
Paul decides to cross his long haired guinea pig with a short haired guinea pigBoth were homozygous for their traitWhat is the genotypic ratio of the offspring?
The offspring will look more like the mom but they will have mid hair.
If a homozygous black guinea pig is crossed with a white guinea pig what is the probability that an offspring will have black fur?
depends if the black fur gene is dominant.. if it is... then yu would cross BB with bb making all heterozygous genotypes(Bb) therefore, having all possible offspring with black fur so theres a 100% probability of offspring with black fur(:
If a homozygous black guinea pig is crossed with a homozygous white guinea pig what is the probability that an offspring will have black fur?
100% because BB is dominant over bb and all the crosses make Bb
Can a dominant guinea pig live with a brand new guinea pig?
i did it and the dominant girl went mad i think she would of killed the new babys if my other guinea pig hadnt of steped in so i think a male would of killed them so no dont mixe them unless the dominant guinea is old as in 3 or over BUT i dont think its a good idear at eany age Overall No i dont think you should realy thx, =) hope u enjoy ur guins, frm Jasmine xxx <3
What do yo call a spayed guinea pig?
A female guinea pig is called a sow, whether it is spayed or not.
What are the geneotypes of a homozygous and a heterozygous tall pea plant?
The word genotypes is in reference to the alleles an individual receives at fertilization. Lets say that the allele/gene/trait, genotype for the Tall plant is T and dominate and the allele/gene/trait genotype for the short plant is t and recessive. If the genotype is an homozygous allele/gene/trait has two dominate alleles/genes/traits seen as two capital letters ex: dominate tall=TT or if the genotype is homozygous with two recessive alleles/genes/traits it will have two lower case letters ex: short=tt. If the genotype is heterozygous is a Tall plant that means the allele/gene/trait will have one dominate T=Tall and one recessive t=short and it will look like this Tt and with this genotype a Tall plant will be produce "T", even though that plant will still carry an allele/gene/trait for shortness "t". Tips: homozygous [Gk.homo means same and zygous means balance] & heterozygous [Gk.hetero means different and zygous means balance]
Do guinea pigs do well togather?
Generally, they do well in pairs or groups. Depending on your pig's personality, 2 guinea pigs could become friends or begin taking roles in a pack, such as "alpha". Some guinea pigs have no interest in being the dominant guinea pig and just want to be friends. If you see signs of 1 guinea pig being dominant, that is perfectly normal. Just be sure to monitor its behavior around other piggies to make sure nobody is hurt!
Two brown guinea pigs are crossed All but one of the offspring is brown The one is white Why?
The Allele that causes guinea pigs to be brown in color is a dominant one and the white guinea pig's alleles are recessive. The brown guinea pig had two dominant alleles for brown color and the white guinea pig had two for white. Since offspring get one allele from each parent they have one dominant brown allele and one recessive white allele. Since the dominant trait is the one that is going to be apparent, it would only make sense for all the offspring to be brown in color.
