The correct examples of a genotype from the options you provided are:

  1. The flower has a red pigment gene and a copy of the white pigment gene. (This describes the specific alleles present in the organism, which is the definition of genotype.)
  2. The cheetah has two copies of the gene that causes stronger muscles. (This also describes the specific alleles present for a particular trait.)

The other two options ("the tree produces red fruit" and "the blue jay has shorter wings") describe phenotypes (the observable traits) rather than genotypes.
