In a group of dogs, some individuals have short fur and others have long fur. In this group,

the gene for the fur length trait has two alleles. The allele F is for short fur, and the allele f is

for long fur.

Clue, a dog from this group, has long fur. Clue has two alleles for long fur.

Based on this information, what is Clue's genotype for the fur length gene?

A) short fur

Bl long fur

C) FF

D) ff

Answer: D) ff

Explanation: Clue's genotype for fur length gene is ff. From the information given above, the allele for long fur is f and Clue has two alleles for long fur.

Since long fur allele is f and Clue has two long fur alleles, therefore clue's genotype for long fur is ff.

A genotype is a pair of gene that controls a particular trait. A gene appear in different forms known as alleles. Long fur trait in Clue is controlled by a pair of gene ff.
