Question

A variety of mice can have either gray fur (G) or white fur (g). Which words
describe the genotype of a mouse that inherits two of the alleles for gray fur?
O
A. Heterozygous gray
B. Heterozygous recessive
OC. Homozygous dominant
O D. Homozygous white

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf C. \ Homozygous\ dominant}$

Explanation:

Key:

• Since the dominant trait is denoted by a capital letter, gray is a dominant trait denoted by G.
• Recessive trait: White fur denoted by g.

The mouse inherits two of the alleles for gray fur i.e. GG.

GG is gray (dominant trait) and GG is having the identical alleles so it will be called homozygous dominant.
