Examine the following crosses among guinea pigs and the resulting coast colors of the offspring and decide what type of inheritance is involved. Then, Indicate offspring involved in each of the crosses in the blanks provided. Pattern of inheritance for guinea pig coat color: ________ In cattle, there is an allele called dwarf that in the heterozygote, produces calves with legs that are shorter than normal. Homozygous recessive dwarf calves spontaneously abort early or are stillborn. If a dwarf bull is mated to 400 dwarf cows, what is the phenotypic ratio you would expect among the living offspring? (Show your work below.)
