Question

The mating of two curly-haired brown guinea pigs results in some offspring with brown curly hair, some with brown straight hair, some with white curly hair, and even some with white straight hair. this mating illustrates which of mendel's laws?

Answer 1

The mating of two curly-haired brown guinea pigs resulting in offspring with different variations in hair color and type illustrates Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mating of two curly-haired brown guinea pigs resulting in offspring with different variations in hair color and type illustrates Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment.

This law states that genes do not influence each other with regard to the sorting of alleles into gametes, and every possible combination of alleles for every gene is equally likely to occur.

For example, in the case of the guinea pigs, the gene for hair color and the gene for hair type are inherited independently of each other, resulting in the various combinations of brown and white hair colors and curly and straight hair types in the offspring.

Answer 2

Answer: Law of Independent Assortment

Step-by-step explanation:

The example only shows that the alleles the offspring received for one gene does not influence the allele for another gene, since the curly/ strait haired gene clearly does not affect the white/ brown hair gene.
