Question

1. The length of a dog's tail is an inherited trait. The allele for short tails is dominant (T) over the

Answer 1

Answer/Explanation:

Given==> short tail allele (T) is dominant, and long tail allele (t) is recessive.

Genotype of homozygous short-tailed dog = TT, while genotype of heterozygous short-tailed dog = TT

Required==> Punnett Square showing a genetic cross between both parents: i.e. TT X Tt

*See attached image for the Punnett Square

From the Punnett Square, 50% of the offspring of the First generation would be homozygous short-tailed, while 50% would be heterozygous short-tailed.

All the offspring would be all short-tailed as well.
