1. In guinea pigs, black coat color (B) is dominant over white (b), and short hair length (H) is dominant over long (h). a) A guinea pig that is homozygous for black coat color and heterozygous for short hair is crossed with a black coat, long-haired guinea pig which had a white-coated mother. Indicate the genotypes of each parent, their gametes, and complete a Punnett square which shows the genotypes of all offspring. b) What is the probability of obtaining offspring with the following characteristics: i) black coat color and long hair ii) a female with white coat color and short hair
