Question

this passage describes the fleece type trait in sheep:
the fleece, or outer coat, of a sheep is often cut off and used to make yarn for fabrics and other textiles. woolly fleeces, which have shorter hairs, are usually used for clothing and blankets. hairy fleeces, which have longer hairs, are usually used for carpets.
in a group of sheep, some individuals have a hairy fleece and others have a woolly fleece. in this group, the gene for the fleece type trait has two alleles. the allele f is for a hairy fleece and the allele f is for a woolly fleece.
rudolph is a sheep from this group. rudolphs phenotype for the fleece type trait is a hairy fleece. rudolphs genotype for the fleece type gene is ff.
based on this information, complete the following statement.
rudolph is __________ for the fleece type gene.
heterozygous
homozygous

Explanation:

In genetics, if an organism has two identical alleles for a gene, it is homozygous. Rudolph has the genotype FF for the fleece - type gene, meaning it has two identical dominant alleles.

Answer:

homozygous
