a guinea pig that has hair can have a genotype of hh or hh.
true
false

Explanation:

In genetics, if having hair is the dominant trait (represented by \(H\)) and hairless is the recessive trait (represented by \(h\)), a recessive trait is only expressed when an organism has two recessive alleles. So for a hairless guinea - pig, the genotype must be \(hh\). For a guinea - pig with hair, since the dominant allele \(H\) can mask the recessive allele \(h\), it can have either \(HH\) (homozygous dominant) or \(Hh\) (heterozygous) genotypes.

Answer:

1. \(hh\)
2. True
