Question

In a group of cats, some individuals have short fur and others have long fur. In this group, the gene for the fur length trait has two alleles. The allele F is for short fur, and the allele f is for long fur.
Fraidy, a cat from this group, has short fur. Fraidy has two alleles for short fur.
Based on this information, what is Fraidy's phenotype for the fur length trait?

Answer 1

Fraidy has short fur, which is the physical expression of the fur length trait. Since Fraidy has two alleles for short fur (FF), her phenotype for the fur length trait is "short fur."
