Question

in a group of rock pocket mice, some individuals have dark fur and others have light fur. in this group, the gene for the fur color trait has two alleles. the allele f is for dark fur, and the allele f is for light fur. coco, a rock pocket mouse from this group, has dark fur. coco has one allele for dark fur and one allele for light fur. based on this information, what is cocos genotype for the fur color gene? light fur dark fur ff ff

Explanation:

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism. Since Coco has one allele for dark fur (\(F\)) and one allele for light fur (\(f\)), we simply combine these two alleles to represent its genotype.

Answer:

\(Ff\)
