Explanation / Answer

The possible explanation is albino = recessive and black = dominant.

Let's denote the alleles as A and a, with 'A' being the dominant black allele and 'a' being the recessive albino.

Hence the albino guinea pig will be aa.

The first black guinea pig could possibly be homozygous dominant (AA) .Thus a cross between this black guinea pig and the albino will result in all black offsprings with the heterozygous genotype Aa.

The second black guinea pig could be having the heterozygous dominant genotype Aa. Hence a cross of the albino with this guinea pig will yield offsprings with Aa(black) or aa(albino).
