1. what is the puppys genotype for the trait of coat pattern? *

○ bb
○ hh
○ rr
○ tt

Explanation:

Question 4

Phenotype refers to the observable physical characteristic of a trait. For hair curliness, "HH" and "Hh" are genotypes (genetic makeup), while "curly hair" or "straight hair" are phenotypes. Typically, in genetics, if H is for curly hair (dominant), then the phenotype for hair curliness would be the observable trait, so "curly hair" is the phenotype.

Genotype is the genetic makeup (allele combination) for a trait. For coat pattern, we need an allele pair related to coat pattern. "Bb" is a possible genotype for a coat - pattern - related gene (assuming B/b is for coat pattern), while HH is for hair curliness, Rr and Tt are for other traits (not specified as coat pattern here). So "Bb" is the genotype for coat pattern.

Answer:

curly hair (assuming H is dominant for curly; the option "curly hair" is the observable trait, unlike the genotype options HH/Hh)
