Question 1

Question 1

You need a guppy which has a blue gene, because your target guppy’s color is blue.
A red guppy and a yellow guppy don’t have the gene to make the guppy have a blue body.
So, the answer is the guppy in the center!

Question 2

Question 2

This is a question about the semi dominant gene.
The red class can be made by setting the blue class’s gene of dominance.
If a guppy has the recessive gene, he won’t become a red class, only a blue guppy will have the possibility to be able to preset the gene dominance.
So, the answer is the left guppy!

Question 3

Question 3

The male guppy has the gene to have a pink body, so you need the gene to have a speckle in the caudal fin.

So, the answer is the right guppy!

Question 4

Question 4

This is a question about the law of dominance.

The guppy in center is an albino, because it has red eyes.
So, the answer is the guppy in the center!
