A farmer breeds two goats that have never fainted and their first offspring faint two days its birth what must the parents genotype have been?

The parents genotype must have been half fainting half regular and the other parent had to be the same way. The parents would not have fainted because they had the non fainting gene.

What happens if 2 different breeds have babies?
If two different species reproduce and have children, then these children will not be fertile. E.g, when a horse and donkey reproduce together, then the offspring is called a mule. The mule will always be infertile, as will the offspring produced by cross-breeding of species. If two different breeds reproduce, then the offspring should share the characteristics from both breeds.
If a hybrid guinea pig breeds with another hybrid guinea pig what will the offspring be?
Basically a crossbreed
How are inbreeding and hybridization the same?
Inbreeding is the breeding of closely related individuals of a species generally to produce more uniform offspring. Hybridization is the breeding of different varieties (breeds) or even different species to increase variation/ vigor in the genetic population. An example of variety hybridization would Labradoodles (labrador X poodle). An example of species hybridization would be (wolf X coyote). Many offspring produced from species hybridization are sterile... depending on the chromosome number compatibility and other factors.
What is the average advantages of crossbreeding over pure breeds of a swine?
Cross breeds usually carry the genetic traits of both parents. Meaning, if you mate a breed that is known for high milk producing females with another breed that is known for high meat production, then you will get an offspring that excels both traits. Whereas, purebred off spring will throw that breed characteristic.
How do you make a purebred cow?
To get a purebred bovine (not necessarily a cow), you have to do a lot of breeding-up in order to have your cows and bulls producing the same type of offspring that their parents are. This takes years and years of work to do, and is much harder for one person to do than it does for several people to do. How it's done is that you select the best quality bull that has all the traits that you want your new breed to have. Then you find a cow of another breed and breed that cow with that bull to get the calf you are wanting to use to start breeding up to produce offspring that are to be recognized as a separate breed and not just a crossbred. Then you can throw in one or two (or even more) breeds into the mix to get the type of breed you want. You have to keep doing this with the breeds you've selected and the offspring you've ended up with (making sure you cull out the undesirable or inferior offspring, cows and bulls) until you find you are getting more uniformity in the herd, and not just a herd of mutt-cattle. After getting others interested and helping with the breeding-up program and after another 10 or 20 or even 50 years of consecutive breeding-up and trait selection, naming the breed you've created and getting recognized by the national breeds council and what-not, you have your breed.
Do the male chicken and female chicken have to be the same breed to have chicks?
No. Roosters and hens can be of different breeds to create offspring, just like different breeds of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs can breed to create offspring.

How much does a beagle hound cost in Louisiana?
Depends on the pedigree. If the parents to the pup were good hunters chances are their offspring would be too. I have heard from many freinds they are one of the most difficult breeds to house break.
