1) In the Punnett square on the right, how many H/h alleles
does a baby guinea pig inherit from the mother?

2)How many H/h alleles does a baby guinea pig inherit from
the father?

Respuesta :

anwser:

  1. one allele from mother, one allele from father
  2. yes, this means the mother's alleles are dominant

Explanation

"The amount of alleles that a baby Guinea pig inherit from the mother are two , 1 from its mother and 1 from its father.

ie: if its mother had a dominant black fur (BB) and its father has recessive grey fur (bb) , there is 100% chance that the baby will has a Bb genotype, which will give them either black fur or dark grey fur."

Yes, the mother likely has several dominant alleles that manifested as a heterozygous genotype in the baby, giving it a phenotype largely similar to its mother.
