Question 4
The Ultimate Guide to Guinea Pig Breeds, Markings and Colors – Kavee USA

In guinea pigs, rough coats (with lots of swirly cowlicks) are dominant over smooth coats. If a male homozygous dominant guinea pig is crossed with a female heterozygous guinea pig, what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring? Complete the Punnett square and the percentages of rough and smooth coated offspring.

***Please follow all Punnett square rules to complete this question. (Letters and numbers, only)

Please use the following: Rough = R and Smooth = r


offspring 1 offspring 2
offspring 3 offspring 4

Question 15
Carbon Cycle - Please answer the following using the words in the word bank

(Word bank words can be used either once, or not at all).



Plants and other photoautotrophs use CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the process of to make and oxygen. Both plants and animals use oxygen in the biological process of and make more CO2. The is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere, because it covers most of the Earth and CO2 dissolves easily in it. Millions of years ago, huge deposits of carbon were stored, which were formed from dead plants and other organisms. Today these deposits are burned as fossil fuels, which include , , and . More CO2 is released in the atmosphere today than in the past because of the . But is a greenhouse gas, as is water, and methane, and too much CO2 in the atmosphere may be responsible for human accelerated .
