Solution

The correct option is E TtLl×TTLL
The parent with genotype TtLl will produce gametes T, t, L and l. The second parent with genotype TTLL will produce gametes T, T, L and L. Straight tail (T) is dominant over bent tail (t) in mice. Long-tailed mice (L) are dominant over short-tailed mice (l). When these two parents are crossed, all the offspring (mice) produced will have straight and long tail. So, the correct answer is option D.
