Im guinea pigs, short hair is dominant and long hair is recessive. A short haired male and a short haired female produced mostly short haired offspring but a few were long haired. show how you can determine the genotypes of the parents

Answer/Explanation:

Let's say the allele for short hair is S and the allele for long hair is s. Since long hair is recessive, an individual would need to have two copies of that allele to show the genotype (h0m0zygous - ss). That means they must inherit one from each parent.

A guinea pig with short hair could be h0m0zygous (SS) or heterozygous (Ss)

Since a short haired male and a short haired female produced some long haired offspring, they must each have a copy of the long haired allele (s). Otherwise there is no way their offspring could inherit two copies of the s allele. The offspring must have got one s allele from each parent.

Therefore, the parents must both be heter0zygous (Ss)

the most common type of reef is the fringing reef. this type of reef grows seaward directly from the shore. they form borders along the shoreline and surrounding islands.
