44) Your hobby is breeding fancy guinea pigs for people who like that sort of thing. You set up a cross in which the parents are true-breeding and have phenotypes as follows: the father has black fur and a long tail and the mother has white fur and is tailless. They produce offspring in which all of the males are white and have long tails and all of the females are grey with long tails.
a. Is fur color autosomal or sex linked? Explain.
b. Describe which fur color phenotypes are dominant, recessive, co-dominant, or incompletely dominant where appropriate.
c.Is tail length autosomal or sex-linked? Explain.
d.Describe which tail length phenotypes are dominant, recessive, co-dominant, or incompletely dominant where appropriate.
e.What phenotypic ratios do you expect in the F2
