Guinea pigs can produce different coat colors, white, brown, and mixed white/brown (agouti). The allele B is codominant with allele W (white coat). Cross an agouti colored Guinea pig with a brown Guinea pig. What are the odds of the offspring; 1/2 homozygous white, 1/2 heterozygous brown; 1/4 homozygous brown, 1/2 heterozygous agouti, 1/4 white; 1/2 heterozygous brown, 1/2 homozygous

In a cross of an agouti heterozygous (AB) colored Guinea pig with a brown (BB) Guinea pig the odds of the offspring is 1/2 WB and 1/2 BB (1/2 heterozygous agouti, 1/2 homozygous brown).

What is codominance?

Codominance is a genetic phenomenon where both alleles are expressed in heterozygous individuals.

In this case, the allele B is codominant with allele W and produces heterozygous (WB) colored Guinea pigs such as one of the parents.

In conclusion, this cross will produce 1/2 BB and 1/2 WB (1/2 heterozygous agouti, 1/2 homozygous brown).
