From the Punnett square, the genotype of the offspring produced is:
- 1 h0moxygous Black,BB; 2 two heterozygous black = Bb, Bb; and 1 h0moxygous white, bb; guinea pigs
The phenotype of the offspring will be:
- Three Black fur guinea pigs and one White fur guinea pig.
<h3>What are phenotypes and genotypes?</h3>
Genotypes are the sum total of all the genes that code for a particular trait present in an organism.
The genotype is the sum of all the alleles for a gene in an organism.
Phenotype refers to the physical features of an organism as a result of the genotype of that organism.
Considering the cross between two heterozygous black guinea pigs:
black fur is dominant over white fur in guinea pigs
Let the allele for black fur be B and the allele for white fur be b
The genotype of the heterozygous black guinea pigs = Bb
The cross between the parents is as follows:
Bb * Bb
Using a Punnett square, the genotype of the offspring produced will be:
BB, Bb, Bb, bb
The phenotype of the offspring will be in the ratio 3 Blacks to 1 White guinea pig
