The side because they are the same. The top because they are different.
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.
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.
A breeder could determine if a rough-coated guinea pig is homozygous or heterozygous by conducting a test mating. Breeding the rough-coated guinea pig with a smooth-coated guinea pig would show if the rough coat is dominant or recessive. If all the offspring have rough coats, it indicates the rough-coated guinea pig is homozygous for the trait. If both rough and smooth-coated offspring are produced, then the rough-coated guinea pig is heterozygous.
When a heterozygous guinea pig (Rr) is mated with a homozygous recessive guinea pig (rr), the possible genotypes of their offspring are 50% Rr (heterozygous, rough coat) and 50% rr (homozygous recessive, smooth coat). This results in a genotype distribution of 1:1, with half of the offspring expected to have rough coats and the other half having smooth coats.
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.

To determine if a black guinea pig is homozygous or heterozygous for black fur, you would need to cross it with a white guinea pig. If the offspring are all black, then the black guinea pig is homozygous. If any white offspring are produced, then the black guinea pig is heterozygous.
A test cross with a homozygous recessive guinea pig (bb) would reveal the genotype of the black guinea pig. If all offspring are black, then the black guinea pig is most likely homozygous dominant (BB). If both black and white offspring are produced, then the black guinea pig is likely heterozygous (Bb).
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.
Cross between homozygous black rough (BBRR) guinea pig and homozgous white smooth guinea pig (bbrr) produced black and rough animals in F1 generation.
If a homozygous black guinea pig (BB) is crossed with a homozygous white guinea pig (bb), all offspring will inherit one black allele (B) from the black parent and one white allele (b) from the white parent, resulting in heterozygous offspring (Bb). Since black fur is dominant over white fur, all offspring will have black fur. Therefore, the probability of an offspring having black fur is 100%.
The black guinea pig is likely heterozygous (Bb) for coat color, while the white guinea pig is homozygous recessive (bb). The black guinea pig passes on a black allele to all offspring, resulting in 4 black (Bb) and 2 white (bb) offspring.
