The allele for curly hair is dominant over the allele for straight hair. It you mated a curty-haired dachshund and a straight-haired dachshund, would you be able to accurately predict the probability of the offspring having curly hair? Why? (1 point)

Question

• No, because you don't know the genotype of the curly-haired dog
• Yes, because you know the genotype of the curly-haired dog
• No, because you only know the genotype of the curly-haired dog
• Yes, because you know the genotypes of both dogs.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: No, because you don't know the genotype of the curly-haired dog.

Explanation: The curly-haired dachshund could either be homozygous dominant (CC) or heterozygous (Cc) for the curly hair trait. Without knowing the specific genotype of the curly-haired dog, you cannot accurately predict the probability of the offspring having curly hair.
