Answer:
<em>The correct option is 'this guinea pig could be homozygous dominant (HH) or heterozygous (Hh).'</em>
Explanation:
When both the alleles of a gene are the same then they are termed to be homozygous. If a gene possesses two different types of alleles then it is termed as heterozygous.
A dominant allele is the one which can suppress the effect of a recessive allele. A recessive allele is the one which gets masked by the dominant allele.
For a dominant trait to occur, an organism can either be homozygous dominant for that trait or it can be heterozygous for the trait.

The bulky shape of fat cells makes them ideal for filling spaces of connective tissue. The fat cells represent a type of connective tissue.
The adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue composed of fat cells known as adipocytes.
These cells (adipocytes) are specialized cells that store fats, which can be produced by the human body or obtained from the diet.
The shape of the adipocytes can be spherical, oval, polyhedral (as part of adipose connective tissue), etc.

Explanation:
The problem says that the hairless phenotype never breeds true. That means that it's not the result of a homozygous genotype (H₁H₁ or H₂H₂), so it is caused by the heterozygous genotype (H₁H₂).
The <u>expected </u>offspring from the cross between two Mexican hairless would be:
<h3>P
H₁H₂ x
H₁H₂</h3><h3>F1 1/4
H₁H₁, 2/4
H₁H₂ and 1/4
H₂H₂.</h3>
And the <u>expected</u> phenotypic ratio 3:1. However, the observed offspring shows a 2:1 ratio. What's happening?
If the observed phenotypic ratio in the offspring of a monohybrid cross (a single gene with two alleles) is 2:1, we can suspect that one of the genotypes is lethal in homozygosis and therefore does not appear in the progeny (the puppies are born dead).
If we proposed that the H₂ allele is lethal in homozygosis, then:
- The H₁H₁ genotype would cause normal puppies --> 1
- The H₁H₂ genotype would cause hairless puppies --> 2
- The H₂H₂ is lethal and causes the death of puppies --> 0
The phenotypic ratios change to 2:1, as observed in the experiment.
