Can someone help me with science homework?

Question

1. The puppy has the genotype Ll for hair length. What is the puppy’s phenotype for hair length?
2. The puppy has the genotype cc for hair curliness. What is the puppy’s phenotype for hair curliness?
3. The puppy’s genotype for coat pattern is ss. His owners name him “spot” does this name accurately reflect what he looks like?
4. The puppy has bristly hair. What possible genotypes would result in bristly hair?

Answer 1

1. Further information is required to answer the problem. Assuming that big "L" codes for Long hair and little "l" codes for short hair (which I believe is implied in the problem because the big letter is usually given to the phenotype of the dominant trait -so L for Long), a genotype of Ll will result in long hair.
2. Further information is required to answer the problem. Assuming big C codes for curly hair and little "c" codes for straight hair (which I believe is implied because again the big letter is usually given to the phenotype of the dominant trait -so C for Curly) , a genotype of cc phenotype would mean the recessive phenotype will be able to appear, and hence the dog will have straight hair.
3. Very hard to say without defining what the allele "s" represents
4. Impossible to answer the question without knowing more about the genetics of bristle hair.
