1. For dimples, what is the dominant trait? How do you

know? What is the genotype of the F1? F2?

How come there are no “no dimples” in the F1

generation?

For tasters, what is the dominant trait? How do you

know? What is the genotype of the F1? F2? 4. Using the punnett square in question #3:
a. What is the probability of producing guinea pigs with
2. A long haired guinea pig from a population that lives black, rough fur?
high in elevation in the Andes of Peru is mated with a Possible genotype(s)?
short haired guinea pig from a population that lives at a b. What is the probability of producing guinea pigs with
lower elevation. The resulting F1 hybrids all displayed a black, smooth fur?
long haired phenotype. When the F1 were allowed to Possible genotype(s)?
interbreed, the F2 generation had long haired and short c. What is the probability of producing guinea pigs with
haired guinea pigs in a 3:1 ratio. white, rough fur?

clue to answer this. Possible genotype(s)?
