Question

How are alleles passed for guinea pig fur color and length?

A. One allele for fur color and one allele for fur length is passed to the offspring from each parent
B. One allele for fur color is passed together with an allele for fur length from parents to offspring.
C. The offspring receive the alleles for fur color and length from one parent.

Answer 1

The correct answer is the option:

A. One allele for fur color and one allele for fur length is passed to the offspring from each parent

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

The correct answer is the option:

A. One allele for fur color and one allele for fur length is passed to the offspring from each parent

Each parent transmits one allele for the color and another allele for the length. When the two alleles of color (one of each parent) and the two alleles for the length (one of each parent) are joined, we will see only the dominant allele expressed. Then in the phenotype we will see expressed the dominant allele for the color and the dominant allele for the length.

Answer 2

A. One allele for fur color and one allele for fur length is passed to the offspring from each parent


The dominate allele will then show up, while the recessive allele will just stay there until the next offspring arrives, before transferring to them

hope this helps
