4.
In guinea pigs, the genes for coat texture and coat colour are found on separate chromosomes. The
allele for rough coat is dominant to the allele for smooth coat. The allele for black coat is dominant to the
allele for white coat.
A black guinea pig with a rough coat was crossed with a white guinea pig with a rough coat.
The cross was repeated on a number of occasions and the phenotypes of the offspring were as follows:
28 rough and black coats
31 rough and white coats
11 smooth and black coats
10 smooth and white coats
Complete the genetic diagram to explain this cross.
Use the following symbols to represent the alleles:
R = rough
B = black
Parental phenotypes: rough and black coat
Parental genotypes:
Gametes:
Offspring genotypes: .
Offspring phenotypes: .
Expected phenotypic ratio:
r = smooth
b = white
X rough and white coat
