Hi there!
We are given the hair types of two cats
The first one has long hair, and it's heterozygous, meaning it has one dominant, and one recessive allele. We are given that it is a carrier of the short hair allele, meaning in its genotype, it has the short hair gene (that doesn't necessarily mean it's there in its phenotype). However, since it has long hair (genotype), that means that the long hair allele is dominant (the gene that will always show), and the short haired one is recessive (the gene that gets "covered up" by the dominant allele). Let's say the genotype of the long haired cat is Tt, where T is the long hair, and t is the short hair
The second cat has short hair, and as we have mentioned above, the allele for short hair is recessive, so the short haired cat has 2 copies of the short hair allele. Its genotype is tt
Please see below for the Punnett Square
Hope this helps! :)
