Guinea pig coat color is determined by a single gene. The allele for black coat color is dominant to brown. In a cross between two black-haired guinea pigs, 20 offspring are born. If both parents were heterozygous, probability would predict that approximately how many of the 20 offspring would have brown hair?

Answer:

In a cross between two black-haired guinea pigs, 20 offspring are born. If both parents were heterozygous, probability would predict that approximately 1 out of 20 offspring would have brown hair

Step-by-step explanation:

The two parents crossed were heterozygous dominant black coat color, after crossing 75% gives dominant black color coat while 25% gives only brown coat color homozygous
