Answer:

The pig's genotype is Tt

Step-by-step explanation:

As mentioned in the question that curly hair allele T is dominant over straight tail allele t.

A heterozygous organism is that in which both alleles for a trait are different. Since Curly hair allele T is dominant over straight tail t, it means that the pig with curly tail and heterozygous genotype will definitely have a genotype of Tt.

Hope it helps! :)
