14. In guinea pigs, short hair, S, is dominant to long hair, S. Complete the following Punnett squares according to

the directions given. Then, fill in the blanks beside each Punnett square with the correct numbers.

Ss

a. One guinea pig is Ss and one is ss.

Expected number of offspring:

SISS/SS

2 Short hair (SS or Ss)

2 Long hair (ss)

S 85155

S S

b. Both guinea pigs are heterozygous for short hair.

Expected number of offspring:

55.15

Short hair

I Long hair

S $555

with a plant that has yellow fruit. What will be the genotype and phenotype of the offspring?

17. In humans, being a tongue roller (R) is dominant over non-roller (r). A man who is a non-roller RR

marries woman who is heterozygous for tongue rolling.
