The modification in the tail of the mouse was not because of its genes, rather, it was because of the environment. The correct answer is that it will not affect the length of the tails of any of the offspring.  

The modification in the tail of the mouse was not because of its genes, rather, it was because of the environment. The passing of the traits from the parents to the offspring is known as heredity, and the offspring attain the genetic information of their parents. Thus, the mouse will pass on only the features present in its genes to its offspring.  

Answer 2

It will not affect the length of the tails of any offspring simply because Its not a genetic factor and the mouse was born with a tail, just cut off. :)
