A black guinea pig is mated to a white guinea pig, and they produce 12 black offspring Then, the same white guinea pig is mated to a different black guinea pig, and they produce 7 black and 5 white offspring. What is the best explanation for the difference between these two matings? In your answer, you must include genotypes for the parents and offspring of each cross.
