Answer:
3 long tails : 1 short tail
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for tail length in mice. The allele for long tail (T) is dominant over the allele for short tail (t). This means that an heterozygous mice will possess the long tail length.
According to this question, in a cross between two hybrid or heterozygote mice i.e. Tt × Tt, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:
Tt - T and t
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following will be produced: TT, Tt, Tt and tt.
Offsprings with genotype TT, Tt and Tt will have a LONG TAIL while genotype tt will have a SHORT TAIL. Hence, the phenotypic ratio will be 3 long tails : 1 short tail.
