Question

In domestic swine there is a dominant allele which produces a white belt around the body. The recessive allele produces uniform body color. One farmer wants to produce only belted hogs, and another wants only uniformly colored animals. Which farmer would have an easier time producing a true-breeding herd? Explain why. Tell how each farmer would proceed. (Hint: how could you tell if a herd was true-breeding?)

Answer 1

Answer:

The first farmer

Explanation:

The belted allele is dominant and would therefore have a higher chance of showing up in the hog.
