Answer:
1/3 of black F2 progeny will be homozygous.
Explanation:
Here, BB = black coat color = true breeding dominant black strain
bb = white coat color = true breeding recessive white strain
When true breeding black and white guinea pigs are mated to give F1 progeny:
BB X bb = Bb ( all black guinea pigs )
When two of the F1 guinea pigs are mated to give F2 progeny:
Bb X Bb = BB, Bb, Bb, bb
F2 progeny has 3/4 progeny as black (BB and Bb) . Out of them 1/3 are homozygous and 2/3 are heterozygous.
Hence, 1/3 of black F2 progeny will be homozygous.
There can be a lot of factors that express sexuality. The origin would be its genes. The genetic make-up of the person what trait has passed on to an individual from his parents. Another factor is the environment. A person's sexuality can be influenced by social groups, home environment and from the media that he/she looks at.

</span> All normal eggs from the mother have an X chromosome while usually half the sperm cells from the father have a Y (male) chromosome and the other half have an X (female) chromosome and it is therefore the father's sperm that dictates which gender the embryo will take.
If the egg is fertilized by a sperm with a Y chromosome then the embryo will be a genetic male due to XY chromosome combination.
<span>If the egg is fertilized by a sperm with an X chromosome then of course the embryo will be a genetic female due to XX chromosome combination.</span>
