How can the trait of hornless cattle be harmful and helpful?
The trait of being hornless can be harmful if the cow is in an area where it may have to defend against predators. If the animal is aggressive, having no horns can be an asset to the handler.
If short hair L is dominant to long hair l animals LL and Ll have the same what?
If short hair, represented by L, is the dominant trait, then both animals with LL genes and Ll genes will have short hair because they have the short hair gene. The Ll animal, however, may have a long haired offspring if they mate with another animal carrying the long hair gene and they both pass it on.
Bacteria are involved in all of the processes except what?
Bacteria are involved in all biological processes. However, some bacteria are good and some are bad, so different forms of processes may have one type of bacteria, but not another.
When two lions mate why do the cubs look different to each other?
The sperms and the eggs within the parents might get different genes from each other because two parents have two (or more) genes for each trait and give one each and the child ends up with two- one from each parent. The eggs/sperms could get a different of the genes from either parent. In addition often times a female will be impregnated by two different males within the same batch of eggs, so all of the cubs may not have the same father.
Is coat colour a quantitative trait?
With enough genetic information a specific coat color could be quantified, but the trait is qualitative in as much as it can be described but not truly measured. For example. Horse aaEE is black as is horse aaEe however horse aaEe is blue black and horse aaEE is black. While another horse aaEE is blue black and Another aaEe horse is black. Any horse ee is chestnut...but there is liver chestnut, red chestnut, orange chestnut sorrel, et cetera. A quantitative analysis may yield the results of gene frequency in a population or the specific number of individuals in a breed that are a specific color...but the full spectrum of color variation will not be addressed by a quantitative approach.

What three or more forms of a gene that code for a single trait called?
A gene can have multiple forms, which are called Alleles. While a single gene may code for a trait in an organism, when multiple alleles exist for that gene, each different may produce a different character of that trait. For example, a person has two copies of the gene that codes for ABO blood type. There are three different alleles for this gene, A, B and O. This results in six different combinations of the alleles that the person can have (the genotype), which in turn results in four expressions of the gene in the person (called the phenotype), which is the blood type of the person.

When two or more forms of the gene for a single trait exist some forms may be?
dominant and others may be recessive.

alleles
What is an example of a different form a gene may have for a trait?
The different forms of a genes for a single trait are known as alleles there can be a dominate allele which always shows up when present and a recessive allele which only shows up when both alleles are recessive or there is no dominate allele
Different forms of a trait that a parent may have?
alleles, isn't that obvious?
