Question
If we make a cross between a white guinea pig and a black guinea pig where black is a dominant character and white is a recessive character, then what will be the character of the next generation?
- White
- Hybrid white
- Hybrid black
- Black.
Answer
Hybrid black
Explanation:
If the black guineapig is homozygous dominant (BB) and the white guineapig is homozygous recessive (bb), then all the offspring in the first generation (F1) will be black and heterozygous (Bb). However, if the black guineapig is heterozygous (Bb), then the F1 generation will have a 1:1 ratio of black and white guineapigs, but all the guineapigs will be hybrid.
