In a group of sheep, some individuals have white wool and others have black wool. On this group, the gene for the wool color trait has two alleles. The allele for black wool (/) is recessive to the allele for white (L)

Question

In a group of sheep, some individuals have white wool and others have black wool. On this group, the gene for the wool color trait has two alleles. The allele for black wool (/) is recessive to the allele for white (L)

Toriel is a sheep from this group. Toriel has the homozygous gene type LL for the wool color gene.
Based on this information, what is Toriel's phenotype for the wool color trait?
A. White wool
B. Black wool

Answer 1

A. White wool

Since Toriel has the genotype LL, which is homozygous for the dominant white allele, her phenotype for the wool color trait would be white wool.
