Question

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. hachiko, a dog from this group, has short fur. hachiko has two alleles for short fur. based on this information, what is hachiko’s genotype for the fur length gene? ff short fur

Explanation:

Step1: Understand Allele and Genotype

The allele \( F \) is for short fur. Hachiko has short fur and two alleles for short fur.

Step2: Determine Genotype

Since both alleles are for short fur (represented by \( F \)), the genotype is formed by these two alleles. So the genotype should be \( FF \) as both alleles are \( F \) (for short fur) and he has two such alleles.

Answer:

\( FF \)
