Since the male cat is a homozygous dominant, it will pass on the dominant trait causing the offspring to all have short fur

Answer:

The probability would be 100%

Explanation:

As we know the characteristics of the kitten of the two cats presented in the above question, will be influenced by the dominance and recessivity relations between parents alleles.

As we can see from the question above, the male cat has dominant alleles for short fur (SS), while the female cat has resessive alleles for short fur (ss) and has long fur. The kitten cat generated by these two cats will be heterzigoto (Ss) and as we know the dominant gene is expressed in heterozygosis, so we can say that there is a 100% probability of the kitten have the short fur.

Taxonomy

The Radio-ulna and digits of most primates and animals represents a homologous structure




An example of another internal structure is the genes.
The homologous chromosomes have the same genes in common. Each cell has at least two sets of chromosomes which one comes from one’s father also called as paternal chromosome and mother, called as the maternal chromosomes. These chromosomes are what makes the child obtain the characters and may depend on the traits the parents possess. Homologous chromosomes are not duplicated chromosomes or identical however, they are analogous or similar. The alleles for a specific characteristics isn’t the same but the same genes are in the same order.<span> </span>

Pietro has two dogs that are related, and he wants to understand why one of the dogs has tan fur and the other has brown fur.
kompoz [17]

Polygenic inheritance is simply a form of inheritance whereby the trait of the individual or the animal is gotten from the cumulative effects of several genes. In such case, there are many genes which control the expression of the trait. This is quite different from the monogenic inheritance whereby the trait is as a result of the expression of just only one gene.

Since Pietro has two dogs that are related, and one of the dogs has tan fur and the other has brown fur, then this means there's more than one gene which is expressed in this case.

In conclusion, the answer to the question is polygenic inheritance.
