7. The color black is dominant in guinea pigs. The phenotypes of homozygous black guinea pigs and heterozygous black guinea pigs are:
8. Through conducting many experiments with pea plants, Gregor Mendel discovered three basic principles that guide the inheritance of traits. Which concept is a part of his explanation?
