Answer

2. Let's use "B" for the dominant black eye allele and "b" for the recessive red eye allele.<br /><br />* **BB** = black eyes<br />* **Bb** = black eyes<br />* **bb** = red eyes<br /><br />3. A Bb guinea pig (black eyes) crossed with a bb guinea pig (red eyes):<br /><br /> * Possible combinations: Bb, Bb, bb, bb<br /> * **50%** of the offspring should have black eyes (Bb).<br /> * **50%** of the offspring should have red eyes (bb).<br /><br />4. A BB guinea pig (black eyes) crossed with a bb guinea pig (red eyes):<br /><br /> * Possible combinations: Bb, Bb, Bb, Bb<br /> * **100%** of the offspring should have black eyes (Bb).<br /> * **0%** of the offspring should have red eyes.<br /><br />5. A Bb guinea pig (black eyes) crossed with a Bb guinea pig (black eyes):<br /><br /> * Possible combinations: BB, Bb, Bb, bb<br /> * **75%** of the offspring should have black eyes (BB, Bb).<br /> * **25%** of the offspring should have red eyes (bb).<br /><br />6. A guinea pig with long hair (hh) is crossed with one that has short hair (HH):<br /><br /> * Possible combinations: Hh, Hh, Hh, Hh<br /> * **100%** of the offspring will have short hair (Hh).<br /><br />7. A guinea pig with long hair (hh) is crossed with one that has short hair (Hh):<br /><br /> * Possible combinations: Hh, Hh, hh, hh<br /> * **50%** of the offspring will have short hair (Hh).<br />
