10 points

Explanation:

Question 6

To answer this, we assume there's a context (like a diagram or prior info) where the puppy's hair is observed. If the puppy has long, straight hair (from the selected option's context, maybe visual or textual), we choose that. Among the options, the last one states "The puppy has long, straight hair" which would be correct if that's the case.

For DNA and alleles, recessive alleles show their trait when both are recessive. If the puppy has straight hair (a recessive trait for curliness, as curly might be dominant), having 2 recessive alleles for hair curliness would mean straight hair. So the option "The puppy has 2 recessive alleles for hair curliness" is correct as it explains the straight hair trait (since recessive traits express when homozygous recessive).

Answer:

D. The puppy has long, straight hair (assuming the options are labeled A - D as first: A, second: B, third: C, fourth: D)
