Answer

2. Let's use "B" for the dominant black eye allele and "b" for the recessive red eye allele.* **BB** = black eyes* **Bb** = black eyes* **bb** = red eyes3. A Bb guinea pig (black eyes) crossed with a bb guinea pig (red eyes): * Possible combinations: Bb, Bb, bb, bb * **50%** of the offspring should have black eyes (Bb). * **50%** of the offspring should have red eyes (bb).4. A BB guinea pig (black eyes) crossed with a bb guinea pig (red eyes): * Possible combinations: Bb, Bb, Bb, Bb * **100%** of the offspring should have black eyes (Bb). * **0%** of the offspring should have red eyes.5. A Bb guinea pig (black eyes) crossed with a Bb guinea pig (black eyes): * Possible combinations: BB, Bb, Bb, bb * **75%** of the offspring should have black eyes (BB, Bb). * **25%** of the offspring should have red eyes (bb).6. A guinea pig with long hair (hh) is crossed with one that has short hair (HH): * Possible combinations: Hh, Hh, Hh, Hh * **100%** of the offspring will have short hair (Hh).7. A guinea pig with long hair (hh) is crossed with one that has short hair (Hh): * Possible combinations: Hh, Hh, hh, hh * **50%** of the offspring will have short hair (Hh).
