Imagine that fur length in a chinchilla species is a polygenic trait controlled by at least three genes. For each of these genes, long fur (PL, QL, or RL) has incomplete dominance over light (PS, QS, RS). A chinchilla homozygous for long fur is mated with a chinchilla that is homozygous for short fur. What will be true of their offspring?

Answer: All the offsprings will have intermediate fur length

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question it is stated that long fur does not have complete dominance over short fur. Mating a homozygous long fur and homozygous short fur will result in an intermediate fur length.
