DOES GUINea pig fur change color?
First of all, guinea pigs don't have fur, they have hair. That is why they are used for testing cosmetics and hair products. As a guinea pigs ages, it's hair probably gets just a little lighter or darker. But that is only true with colored guinea pigs, not albinos.
What is the difference between long haired guinea pigs and short haired guinea pigs?
That depends on the parents. They can be a cross between the long and short hair. They can just be the short hair. They can be the long hair. It will just be a surprise there is no way to predict it.
Dose a rosette guinea pig shed more then a short hair guinea?
Yes i think it does. The more hair, the more to shed. This is totally untrue! just because it has rosettes , they have no more hair it just grows as rosettes, I have 3 types of guinea 1 has rosettes and they all shed about the same.
Which guinea pig would be better for a person with allergies long or short hair?
short hair.
Why is your guinea pig malting?
Guinea Pigs Malt because they are losing there hair for differant sesons. They lose there winter hair in sping/summer.
How many alleles for a trait are contained in the offsrping?
Depends on the gene. Can be as few as 2, or more than that. Height, hair colour etc have multiple alleles.
How are traits inherited by an individual can be determined by one pair of genes?
alleles.
How many different traits can these alleles produce?
A single pair of alleles would produce only one phenotype.
A homozygous condition would be the possession of alleles for?
A homozygous condition would be the possession of alleles for red hair and red hair. A heterozygous condition would be characterized by the possession of alleles for brown hair and red hair.
Difference between multiple alleles and multiple genes?
Alleles are different forms of the same gene. For example, if eye colour was coded for by just one gene, blue eyes would be one allele and green eyes would be another. Different genes, however, code for different things, so you might have a gene for eye colour and another for hair colour.
What type of alleles are there?
Some types of alleles are: blood type, hair color, hair type, eye color, etc.
In guinea pigs the allele for black coat B is dominant over the allele for white coat b An animal with a black coat was crossed with one with a white coat and produced all black coated offspring a. De?
Actually, there are more than one set of alleles that control the Black and white colours. There are two colour series, black/brown and red/yellow, similar to human hair. Black is B, but b is for a brown, or chocolate colour. E is for black extention. If the guinea pig has E, all hairs should have the black series of colour. If it is ep, or partial extention, there are patches of red and black series colour. If it is e, the guinea pig has no black series hair, and will be a red series colour. C is the coat dilution for the red series. C is full colour, Red. ck/CD is a dark dilution, giving an orange coat. cr is a ruby eye dilution, which results in a white coat with dark eyes with a ruby cast. ch/ca is the Himalayan gene. If they are red series, this results in a white coat with red eyes. If they have the black series, the guinea pig is white with dark points, similar to the Siamese cat. So your black guinea pig would be BBEECC. The white would probably be bbeechch. When these are crossed, you would end up with BbEeCch, and would appear black. There are other sets of alleles that control coat colour. This is a web page I have found to be very helpful. http://www.sigissauhaufen.de/geneticsengl.HTML
Which hair colour is sexier?
There is no universal "sexy" hair colour. Hair colour is a personal preference. Your hair colour should be a similar shade to your eyebrows and should compliment your eyes. Ask a professional hair stylist what colour suits you.
What age does a guinea pig grow hair?

Is hair color continuous or discontinuous variation?
Hair colour is continuous because there is a continual range of values when it comes to hair colour

Does black hair dye make hair grow out black?
No, the colour of an individual hair depend on the inherited gene hair colour of which they have obtained from their parents however if you were to dye your hair permanent it does remain the desired colour but new growths will be your natural hair colour as the chemicals used in dyeing your hair do not penetrate into the roots. Continuous application is required to maintain that hair colour.
