Vocabulary practice! Fill in missing boxes assuming that having hair for guinea pigs follows Mendelian

Question

inheritance, where the H dominant allele codes for hair and h codes for a lack of hair (hairless).
Image Genotype Heterozygous or
Homozygous?
Phenotype
HH 1. 2.
3. 4. Hairless
5. 6. Heterozygous 7.

Answer 1

Certainly! Let's fill in the missing boxes regarding the genotypes, their classifications as homozygous or heterozygous, and phenotypes based on Mendelian inheritance for hair in guinea pigs.

1. Image Genotype: HH

   • Heterozygous or Homozygous?: Homozygous
   • Phenotype: Hair

2. Image Genotype: Hh

   • Heterozygous or Homozygous?: Heterozygous
   • Phenotype: Hair

3. Image Genotype: hh

   • Heterozygous or Homozygous?: Homozygous
   • Phenotype: Hairless

4. Image Genotype: Hh

   • Heterozygous or Homozygous?: Heterozygous
   • Phenotype: Hair

5. Image Genotype: HH (repeated for clarity)

   • Heterozygous or Homozygous?: Homozygous
   • Phenotype: Hair

6. Image Genotype: Hh (repeated for clarity)

   • Heterozygous or Homozygous?: Heterozygous
   • Phenotype: Hair

7. Image Genotype: hh (repeated for clarity)

   • Heterozygous or Homozygous?: Homozygous
   • Phenotype: Hairless

Here’s a summary of the completed table:

| Image Genotype | Heterozygous or Homozygous? | Phenotype | |----------------|------------------------------|-----------| | HH | Homozygous | Hair | | Hh | Heterozygous | Hair | | hh | Homozygous | Hairless | | Hh | Heterozygous | Hair |
