COMPLETE
In guinea pigs, fur length is controlled by one
gene. The Fallele generates long fur and the f
allele generates short fur. Because only one F
copy is needed to show the trait, if a guinea pig
has the FF or Ff allele combination, they will have
long fur. If they have the ff allele combination, they
will have short fur

The fur length of the guinea pig will depend on the alleles present in the offspring, whether they are dominant or recessive.

What are dominant and recessive traits?

Dominant traits are characters which are always expressed in an offspring wherever they occur.

Recessive traits on the other hand are expressed only if the dominant trait is absent in the offspring.

In the trait for fur length in guinea pig, there are two alleles for it.

  • F is for long fur and is dominant
  • f is for short fur and is recessive.

Thus, the possible combination of the two alles will be:

  • FF for long fur
  • Ff for long fur and
  • ff for short fur

Therefore, the fur length of the guinea pig depends on the alleles present in th offspring, either dominant or recessive.
