Question

a bobtail (shortened tail) is dominant over a normal tail in dogs. what would the phenotype of a dog be if its genotype is bb? bobtail normal tail unable to be determined bb

Explanation:

In genetics, the phenotype is the observable physical trait. Since the bobtail (shortened tail) is dominant (represented by \( B \)), and the genotype \( BB \) has two dominant alleles. According to the principle of dominance in genetics, when an organism has at least one dominant allele (\( B \) in this case), the dominant trait (bobtail) will be expressed.

Answer:

Bobtail
