Question

In domesticated dogs, hair type is controlled by two different alleles. The allele for wire hair is (H) and the allele for smooth hair is (h). When two heterozygous dogs are crossed, what percentage of the offspring is expected to be homozygous for

smooth hair?

Answer 1

25%

Explanation: Heterozygous alleles are going to be Hh. When two of those are crossed the homozygous (HH) for wire hair will be 25%, the heterozygous (Hh) for wire hair is 50%, and the homozygous (hh) for smooth hair is 25%.
