A scientist has obtained two true-breeding strains of mice, each homozygous for an independently
discovered recessive mutation that prevents the formation of hair on the body. One mutant strain is
called naked, and the other is hairless, the scientist crosses naked and hairless mice with each
other to determine whether the two mutations are different alleles. All the offspring lack hair on their
bodies
a: Are naked and hairless mutations two different alleles? Why or why not?
b: What type of genetics experiment is this called? What is the significance of this test?

Answer:
Hey mate here is the answer
Explanation:
These are the answers in my view
a) Both of them are of same alleles because naked and hairless are having same alleles as hairless is an aquried trait. As we know that from one of the controversial concept that acquired traits can't be inherited
b)It is called Hybridcross.
Significance:
It is used to produce organisms with various contrasting and desired characters
