Question

In a certain cat, long whiskers (W) are dominant and short whiskers (w) are recessive. Two cats have genotypes Ww and ww. If they have an offspring with short whiskers, what is the genotype of their offspring?
A. wW
B. Ww
C. WW
D. ww

Answer 1

nope its ww so the answer is D.

Answer 2

Answer: Option D ww

Explanation:

• The genotype of an organism is defined as its genetic makeup.

• According to the question, the cross is being made between a cat with genotype Ww and a cat with genotype ww.

• Since, W is dominant over w, the parent with genotype Ww will have long whiskers and the parent with genotype ww will have short whiskers.

• When a cross is made between them, we get the following result :

Ww X ww ------> Ww Ww ww ww

Since Ww will have long whiskers, the progeny with short whiskers will have the genotype ww.
