In guinea pigs, short hair (S) is dominant to long (s). Black fur (B) is dominant to albino (b). A female from a strain which is pure breeding for black fur and short hair is mated to a male from a strain pure breeding for the albino condition and long hair.   (A). What will be the phenotypes of the F1?   (B) If members of the F1 are mated among themselves, what percentage of offspring can be expected to be homozygous for both traits?  Give the genotypes and phenotypes of these homozygotes.
