For what is Gregor Mendel most well known?

• his experiments with pea plants which showed that certain traits followed predictable patterns of inheritance

• his research on the human genome project

• his research with Charles Darwin studying evolution and inheritance

In guinea pigs, brown fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). Design a Punnett square to demonstrate the possible outcome if purebred brown guinea pig is crossed with a purebred white guinea pig.  What percent of the offspring will have white fur?

• 0%
• 25%
• 50%
