Question

1. In gerbils, solid-colored fur is a dominant trait (C), and multicolored fur is
recessive (c). If a gerbil has the genotype Cc, what is its phenotype?

Answer 1

Answer:Dominant

Explanation: Since the genotype is Dominant Recessive, it will be dominant always. If you have 1 or more Dominant trait for genotype, your what ever (in this case gerbil) will be Dominant. If the genotype of gerbil was recessive recessive, it would have been multicolored gerbil. But anyway, the answer is Dominant. ( Solid colored )

Answer 2

The phenotype of a gerbil with Cc genotype will be solid-colored fur.

• A homo-zygous individual is an organism that has that same gene variant or 'allele' for a given gene locus.

• Moreover, a heterozygous individual is an organism that receives two different alleles for the same gene locus, one of each parent.

• In complete dominance, the dominant allele completely masks the expression of the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.

In conclusion, the phenotype of a gerbil with Cc genotype will be solid-colored fur.
