in guinea pigs, having black fur is a dominant trait. a student has a pet guinea pig with white fur. what can be concluded about the guinea pig?

Answer :

Guinea pig with white fur is concluded to have recessive alleles.

The population of guinea pigs =400

The population of Black individuals =384

The population of white indivisuals=400-384=16

Frequency of recessive allele (q) =√(16/400) = √0.04 = 0.2

p = 1-0.2= 0.8

True breeding of dominant trait = p^(2) = 0.8^(2) *100= 64%

True breeding of recessive trait=q^(2)=0.2^(2)*100=4%

Percentage of animals expected to be true breeding =64+4=68
