In guinea pigs, black hair is dominant over white hair. A homozygous black guinea pig is crossed with a homozygous white guinea pig. The first generation of offspring are black.
If you cross a plant with blue flowers with a plant with yellow flowers, the offspring will have blue flowers with yellow spots.
If you cross a rhododendron plant with red flowers with a rhododendron plant with white flowers, the offspring will have pink flowers.
