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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How do you determine how many offspring will be the dominant color?
You can use a Punnet Square to figure it out. For example, if gray elephants dominate over brown elephants, and you cross 1 homozygous gray elephant (GG) and one homozygous brown elephant (gg), the Punnet square predicts that the offspring will all be heterozygous Gg. They will all be gray, however, because gray dominates over brown.
What are the chances of inheriting a recessive hair color from your parents?
The chances of inheriting a recessive hair color from your parents depend on their genetic makeup. If both parents carry the recessive gene for a certain hair color, there is a 25 chance that their child will inherit that color.
Why do children resemble their parents?
Children resemble their parents because they inherit genes from them. Genes determine physical traits like eye color, hair color, and height, which are passed down from parents to their children. This is why children often share similarities in appearance with their parents.
What determines whether a person will have dominant or recessive hair color?
Hair color is determined by genes inherited from parents. Dominant genes for hair color will be expressed over recessive genes, resulting in the dominant color being displayed. If both parents pass on recessive genes, the recessive color will be seen.
What color are the Guinea pig parents in the cross shown in the Punnett square?
white
What is the phenotype of a black guinea pig and a white guinea pig?
A black guinea pig would have a black coat color, while a white guinea pig would have a white coat color. Color variation in guinea pigs is due to different alleles of the gene controlling coat color, resulting in different phenotypes.
Do guinea pigs see in black or color?
they see color.
What are some traits or characteristics guinea pigs can inherit from their parents?
I love my friend BETH! shes pretty awesome!
In guinea pigs black hair color is dominant B and white hair color is recessive b What hair color are the guinea pigs offspring?
To determine the hair color of the guinea pigs' offspring, we need to know the genotypes of the parents. If one parent is homozygous dominant (BB) and the other is homozygous recessive (bb), all offspring will be heterozygous (Bb) and will have black hair. If both parents are heterozygous (Bb), approximately 25% of the offspring are expected to be homozygous dominant (BB), 50% heterozygous (Bb), and 25% homozygous recessive (bb), resulting in a 75% chance of black hair and a 25% chance of white hair.
What color is a female guinea pig and what color is a male guinea pig?
Um well... they can be any colour they dont have paticullar colours for the sex.
How is a guinea pigs coler help it live?
A guinea pig's color has nothing to do with its life, except for if it is getting bald patches or patches of color that weren't there before.
Will baby guinea pigs have same colour coat as mum and dad?
Yes most likely so. Usually baby guinea pigs look a bit like their parents. Same coat type, same breed usually, but maybe 1 out of 5 baby piggies have the same color coat as their parents.
What 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?
If both parents are black-haired guinea pigs and the black coat color is dominant, they could either be homozygous (BB) or heterozygous (Bb) for the black coat gene. If both are heterozygous (Bb), the offspring ratio would typically be 25% homozygous black (BB), 50% heterozygous black (Bb), and 25% brown (bb). Therefore, among the 20 offspring, we would expect around 15 to be black (BB or Bb) and about 5 to be brown (bb) if the parents are Bb. If both parents are homozygous (BB), all offspring would be black.
What is popcorn jumping for a guinea pig?
The color orange
What kind of color are of guinea pig?
Colors Vary
The color of a dogs coat is the dog's?
no, there are dominant and recessive aelles that come for both or eather or. Use a punnett square from His/Her parent to figure out your dogs parents p of spring.
