The experimenter carried out a change in the mother's rat phenotype.
The genotype of this rat is not modified.
Only changes in the genotype are inherited to the offspring whereas the changes in the phenotype are not.
Thus, the daughter rats will have tails.
Remember: Genotype is responsible for the phenotype expressed at birth.
