Question

A female cat has two recessive genes for long fur (ss) and a male cat has two dominant genes for short fur (SS). What is the likelihood the two cats produce a kitten with short fur?

Answer 1

Answer 2

There would be a 100% chance of the cats to form kittens with short furs.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, long fur is a recessive trait whereas short fur is a dominant trait.

Dominant trait can be described as a trait that masks the effect of a recessive trait.

A cross between a dominant short fur cat with a recessive long fur will produce kittens that would have a phenotype for short fur. The genotype of the kittens would be heterozygous (Ss). But the effect of the recessive allele would be masked by the dominant allele.
