In guinea pigs, Black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b), which is recessive.
Complete a cross between a guinea pig that is heterozygous for black fur (Bb) with a guinea pig that is homozygous recessive for white fur (bb) - Bb x bb.
After you complete the cross, answer the following fill-in-the-blank questions.

Expected number of offspring:
In guinea pigs, Black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b), which is recessive.
Complete a cross between two guinea pigs that are both heterozygous for black fur.
After you complete the cross, answer the following fill-in-the-blank questions (match up the information per the numbers on the Punnett square and the blanks below).

Expected number of offspring:
In cattle, having horns (H) is dominant to hornless (h), which is recessive.
Complete a cross between a true breeder for horned with a true breeder hornless cattle.
After you complete the cross, answer the following fill-in-the-blank questions.

Expected number of offspring:
In tomatoes, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r). A plant that is homozygous for red fruit is crossed with a plant that has yellow fruit. What would be the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation?

F1 generation phenotypes:
In humans, being a tongue roller (R) is dominant over non-roller (r). A man who is a non-roller marries a woman who is heterozygous for tongue rolling.
Father's genotype:
Father's phenotype:
Mother's genotype:
Mother's phenotype:
What is the probability (percentage or fraction) of having a child that is a tongue roller?
