If short hair (L) is dominant to long hair (l), then to determine the genotype of a short-haired animal it should be crossed with
Answer
a. Ll
b. ll
c. LL
d. All of the above.
e. None of the above.
C. LL
To determine the genotype of a short-haired animal, we can perform a test cross. A test cross involves crossing the individual in question with a known homozygous recessive individual. In this case, since short hair (L) is dominant and long hair (l) is recessive, the known homozygous recessive individual would possess the genotype ll.
So, the correct answer is option b. ll.
To determine the genotype of a short-haired animal (L), it should be crossed with a long-haired animal (ll) which is homozygous recessive for long hair.
Therefore, the correct answer is b. ll.
