Question

In guinea pigs, fur length is controlled by one gene. The F allele generates long fur and the f allele generates short fur. Because only one F copy is needed to show the trait, if a guinea pig has the FF or Ff allele combination, they will have long fur. If they have the ff allele combination, they will have short fur. Look at the data for a guinea pig population to answer the following questions. Guinea pig 1: Long fur (FF) Guinea pig 2: Short fur (ff) Guinea pig 3: Long fur (FF) Guinea pig 4: Long fur (Ff) The sum of the genetic traits in this population is called its

Answer 1

The answer would be "Gene pool".

Answer 2

The sum of the genetic traits is considered the genome. However, short hair vs. long hair in the visual sense is considered the phenome. More specifically, FF of Ff alleles would be the genome. Long hair or short hair would be the phenome.
