Question

in a group of rabbits, some individuals have black fur and others have brown fur. in this group, the gene for the fur - color trait has two alleles. the allele f is for black fur, and the allele f is for brown fur. lottie is a rabbit from this group. lotties phenotype for the fur - color trait is black fur. lotties genotype for the fur - color gene is ff. based on this information, complete the following statement. lottie is __________ for the fur - color gene. homozygous heterozygous

Explanation:

A homozygous individual has two identical alleles for a particular gene. Lottie has the genotype FF for the fur - color gene, with two identical dominant alleles. A heterozygous individual has two different alleles for a gene. Since Lottie has two of the same allele, she is homozygous.

Answer:

homozygous
