Assume that a new breed of short-tailed cats is brought into domestication. Breeders discover that when two of these short-taile
d cats are crossed, three tail lengths are found in the offspring. After two years of breeding short-tailed cats the following proportions of kittens were counted -- 26% long-tailed; 50% short-tailed; 24% tailless. What type of inheritance for tail length does the information, listed above, suggest?
{note: notice the approximate proportions of each phenotype}
A. Tail length is definitely produced via complete dominance.
B. Tail length is obviously sex-linked.
C. This is clearly a case of multiple alleles.
D. This is a probable case of incomplete dominance [intermediate inheritance].
In the analysis of the given options, the most likely answer to this question is D. This is a probable case of incomplete dominance [intermediate inheritance].Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in Brainly your queries.
