Guinea pigs have curly or straight hair, where the curly gene is recessive. Guinea pigs can also have a condition called bow legged. Where their legs curve noticeably outward. Bow leggedness is a dominant lethal allele if an individual inherits two copies of it. Show the cross between a curly haired, bow legged Guinea pig and a heterozygous straight haired pig so that is also bow legged. How many of their offspring is gonna be normal with curly hair? confused with this I need a better understanding and no answers from online just a clear answer for this

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
