You cross two wildtype (short-tailed) chipmunks, and collect a male offspring with a particularly long tail, which you name Dale. Tail length is controlled by the gene T, which is a maternally imprinted gene in chipmunks. Choose the best answers to complete the following statements. • Dale's allele for a long tail was inherited from the female parent. That parent did not express the long tail phenotype because the allele was inherited from father the parent's own • If one of Dale's offspring inherits the long tail allele from him, it either will or will not express that phenotype.
