Guinea pigs, Cavia porcellus, vary in the length and colour of their fur. Fig. 1.1 shows a guinea pig with short black fur. [Figure 1.1] Two genes that determine the length and colour of the fur occur at the A/a locus and the B/b locus. These two gene loci are on separate autosomal chromosomes. • The allele A results in short fur. • The allele a results in long fur. • A is dominant to a. • The allele B results in black fur. • The allele b results in chocolate fur. • B is dominant to b.
