Question

H is the allele for long hair

h is the allele for short hair

If a squirrel is heterozygous, what phenotype does the squirrel have?

Question 6 options:

long hair


short hair


Hh


no hair

Answer 1

Long hair

Step-by-step explanation:

if the squirrel is het3r0zygous, the phenotypical trait would be long hair because states in the question, the allele for long hair is H and it is capital, so unless the question is incorrectly written we must assume H/long hair is dominant trait over little h. the reason Hh is incorrect is because that is the genotypical trait. we can also eliminate short hair because if the squirrel had short hair it's genotypical trait would be hh or h0m0zygous. so long hair is the correct answer.
