Is it possible that the cross between two black guinea pigs shown in Punnett Square A would not produce a white guinea pig?

Depending on the genetics of the two black parents they could produce white offspring...or a number of other potential colors. The color genetics of guinea pigs is rather complex with multiple genes at several sites and there are no true albinos, however the ch allele controls the production of body color and results in white with colored points and full white individuals with pink eyes. The cr allele produces ruby eyed/dark eyed whites.

∙ 9y agoOf course it is possible that they won't produce a white guinea pig. If the dominant trait is black and white is recessive then the offspring will always be black.
Now if a white guinea pig mated with a black heterozygous guinea pig there is a chance that they could produce and white guinea pig.

∙ 15y agowell anything is possible you might be lucky or there could be genes in both guiena pigs that make white fingers crossed :]

∙ 13y agoThey could if their ancestors were once black, but purebred self whites wont.

∙ 13y agoIt can happen depending on what the parents of the black ones look like

∙ 12y agoYes it is very possible depending on who its mate is.

What does recessive mean in genetic term?
Recessive is the opposite of dominate, not as powerful of an influence on whether or not it will become the chosen trait on a punnett square.
Could a roan cow and a white cow have calves which are red?
Nope. And here's why:Answer #1: A cow cannot produce offspring with another cow. Just like sexual intercourse between two women cannot nor will not produce a baby. So, in order to produce a calf, we need to put a BULL into the equation, and remove one of the cows. Which one, you ask? I say it's up to you. But remember this: Bulls contain semen which contain sperm which are able to travel to the embryo (after being ejaculated into the female) and fertilize it by natural fusion and create a baby calf. Now that we have sorted that out, lets tweak the question a bit:Could a roan cow and a white bull (or a roan bull and a white cow) have calves which are red?Now from here, I can properly answer the question in the second part below. Answer #2: Using a Punnett square (you can draw one on a piece of paper as I cannot do one on here), you have the coat colour genes from the Roan Cow which are symbolized as RW for Red & White as Roans are animals that have red and white hair intermixed together. This is what is referred to as a Codominant Gene. Next, you have the genes from the White Bull which are symbolized as WW since the bull has white hair. Now draw your Punnett square and you will get the following chance of coat colouration in the resulting calves:50% chance of white calves50% chance of roan calves0% chance of red calves.So the answer to this question remains: No, you cannot possibly have red calves when a roan cow is bred to a white bull (or a roan bull is bred to a white cow).
