Assume short hair (L) is dominant to long hair (l) , and black hair (B) is dominant to brown (b) . If you found a black short-haired animal, you could determine its genotype by crossing it to an animal with a genotype of ____.

A) LL BB
B) ll BB
C) ll Bb
D) ll bb
E) LL bb

Question

Michael Osborne · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  To determine the genotype of a black short-haired animal (which shows dominant traits), you would cross it with an animal that has homozygous recessive traits for both characteristics (long brown hair, or ll bb). This would reveal whether the black short-haired animal carries recessive alleles, based on the phenotypes of the offspring.
