Answer:

C. Bases

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid, commonly known as DNA, is the a type of nucleic acid that serves as the genetic material in living organisms. DNA holds information or instructions needed for the synthesis of useful products like proteins that is responsible for growth, reproduction, and general survival of organisms. Hence, it is referred to as the "BLUEPRINT OF LIFE".

However, in the structure the of the DNA molecule, it contains certain monomeric building blocks called NUCLEOTIDES. These nucleotide bases are of four types namely: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine. It is upon these order of nucleotide bases that instructions, or 'code', in our DNA is dependent upon.

Black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b) in guinea pigs. An F1 cross was conducted and resulted in 100% heterozygous guinea pi

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

D. 1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in guinea pig. Black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). This means that, as stated in the question, if a black fur parent (BB) is crossed with a white fur parent (bb), a 100% heterozygous offspring (Bb) with black fur will result.

If two heterozygous guinea pigs are crossed i.e. Bb × Bb, the following gametes will be produced by each heterozygous parent:

Bb = B and b

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), offsprings with the following genotypic ratio will be produced:

1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

BB and Bb = black fur guinea pigs

bb = white fur guinea pigs
