Answer:
100% merle with long coats.
Explanation:
<em>All the offspring produced from the cross would be merle with long coats.</em>
<u>From the illustration:</u>
Merle gene is represented by the genotype cmcs.
fgf5 gene determines the coat phenotype. Let the gene be represented by the allele A. A determines long coat traits and it is dominant over its alternate form, b, which determines short coat trait.
Now, two merle (cmcs) dogs were mated. One is true-breeding for long coat (AA) while the other is true breeding for short coat (aa).
cmcsAA x cmcsaa
Progeny genotype = cmcsAa
cmcsAa = merle with long coat.
<em>Since </em><em>A</em><em> is dominant over </em><em>a,</em><em> all the progeny from the cross will be merle with long coat.</em>
