      Is this right? Please can someone have a look at it?

      In guinea pigs, hair length and colour are controlled by two genes on different chromosomes. The hair may be either long or short and its colour either black or brown.
      A male guinea pig and a female guinea pig both had short, black hair.
      The male was homozygous for hair length and the female was homozygous for hair colour. Repeated crossings of these two guinea pigs resulted in offspring of four different genotypes, all of which had short, black hair.
      Complete the genetic diagram to explain these results. Write in the box the symbols you will use to represent the alleles

      Allele for short hair: S Allele for long hair: s
      Allele for black hair: B Allele for brown hair: b

      Male Female
      Parental phenotypes: Short, black hair. Short, black hair.
      Parental genotypes: Male SSBb Female SsBB
      Gamete genotypes: Male SB, Sb Female SB, sB

      Offspring genotypes: SSBB, SSBB, SsBB, SsBb
      Offspring phenotypes: Short, black hair.
