Both the terms "living" and "biotic" describe an organism that holds life. However, an organisms stops "living" after it dies, but never stops being "biotic". This is because "biotic" means anything that has ever had life, whereas "living" only describes things currently alive.

A third-grader decided to breed guinea pigs for her school science project. She went to a pet store and bought a male with smoot

Alexxx [7]

To know what happened here you need to start analyzing the male and female guinea pig that this girl brought at the store.

Male with smooth black fur

Female with rough white fur

So, you have two characteristics: color and style of fur.

Those are the F0, the start of the bread.

The crossing made a litter of eight contained only rough black animals, this told you the dominance of the alleles:

Black (BB) over white (ww) and rough (RR) over smooth (ss).

Parents are BBss x wwRR = BwRs, BwRs,BwRs, and BwRs

So, the F1 or firs offspring will all have the BwRs alleles and the phenotype will be black rough.

When this F1 is crossed, you had a variety of coats and colors.

BwRs x BwRs =BBRR, BwRs, wBsR, wwss

This explains the variety of colors and coats.
