    NNllddMM or NnllddMm

    Explanation:

    Given -

    a) Allele representing long neck is N and allele representing small neck is n

    b) Allele representing Long legs is L and allele representing short legs is l

    c) Allele representing Dark spots is D and allele representing light spots is d

    d) Allele representing ability to digest plant material with high cellulose levels is M and disability to digest plant material with high cellulose levels is m

    Genotype for Lock neck would be NN or Nn

    Genotype for short-legged would be ll

    Genotype for light-spotted would be dd

    Genotype for cellulose-digesting giraffe would be MM or Mm

    Hence, genotype of a giraffe with long-necked, short-legged, light-spotted, cellulose-digesting giraffe would be NNllddMM

    or NnllddMm
