The genotype of the guinea pig that you would want to mate it with the black one is ww, which is also a white guinea pig, as all white guinea pigs must have the genotype ww as w is recessive to b. Also, make sure you know that the black guinea pig should have the genotype of bx, where x is either b or w.
So, if you mate the black guinea pig with the ww guinea pig (white), the offsprings will either be all black, or half black half white.
If the offsprings are all black, you can be sure that the black guinea pig (parent) will have the bb genotype. As each offspring must receive one gene from each parent, so if all the offsprings have black fur, they must have one b gene from the black guinea pig.
On the other hand, if the offsprings are half black half white, the genotype of the black guinea pig (parent) should be bw. This is because in order to have white offsprings, each parent must pass on a w gene so that the offspring would have genotype ww, white.
You use inductive reasoning to propose a process that explains observed facts. You use deductive reasoning to propose what facts you would observe if a known process took place.
Deductive reasoning, or deduction is a type of reasoning used in scientific method. It starts out with a general statement (called hypothesis is scientific method), and examines the possibilities to reach a logical conclusion about it. If the theory is correct, what observations should be. Inductive reasoning is the opposite. It is a type of reasoning when you start from specific observations to the general statement.
Hello. You forgot to enter the necessary data for this question to be answered. The data are shown in the figure attached below:
Answer:
Red-capped Robin is the group of Robins that share a more recent common ancestor with the Norfolk Island robins.
Explanation:
Red-capped Robin is the group of Robins that share a more recent common ancestor with the Norfolk Island robins, this can be seen by the degree of genetic similarity between these two species, since the Red-capped Robin has 98.2% of genetic similarity .
When two species have the same common ancestor, these species have great genetic similarity and the more recent this ancestry is, the greater the genetic similarity between the species.
