As a matter of terminology, albino guinea pig actually refers to a white fur guinea pig, whose genotype is homozygous recessive (bb).
If it crossed with a black fur guinea pig and gave 5 black fur offsprings, there is a good chance that the black fur parent is homozygous dominant (BB).
The Punnett square would be as follows:
B B
b Bb Bb
b Bb Bb
So they are all heterozygous black fur offsprings.
However, it is not impossible that the black fur parent be heterozygous, namely
B b
b Bb bb
b Bb bb
Giving a 50% chance on each colour. Thus it is possible (with probability 1/32) that all five offsprings are heterozygous black fur if one of the parents was heterozygous.
In the second case, a homozygous recessive and a homozygous dominant parent will never give a white offspring. So it is sure that the black fur parent is heterozygous, with the following Punnett square:
B b
b Bb bb
b Bb bb
With a 50% probability for each of Bb (black fur) and bb (white fur).
the distribution 4,3 demonstrates this perfectly.
Answer: Mutation can affect an organism by resulting to a change in the number and structure of chromosomes (chromosomal mutation). A typical example of this type of mutation is Down's syndrome where the individual contains 47 instead of 46 chromosomes.
Mutation can also result to a change in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA molecule in a particular region of a chromosome(Gene mutation) an example of genetic mutation is sickle cell anemia
Explanation:
Well there are pedals on a flower because they surround the reproductive parts of the flower and they are often bright colors or odd shaped to attract pollinators

<span>Sesamoid bones are small masses embedded in some tendons and are usually located in places where a tendon passes over a joint.Their functions are to adjust the pressure, to decrease friction, and to change the direction of a muscle pull.Thus, protecting the tendon, and improving its mechanical function.</span>
When recycling we are reusing old stuff we get rid of and making it better like for example when you recycle plastic that plastic can turn into a toy for a kid or recycling an old rusty metal that can turn into a bed or a new table. Recycling is really good for the environment because you are changing something old into something new.
Hope this helped :)
