In cats, long hair is recessive to short hair. A true-breeding (homozygous) short-haired male is mated to a long-haired female. What will their kittens look like? The kittens will have short hair because when \( \mathrm{SS} \) is mated with ss all of the offspring have to be Ss. From this problem, I know that long hair is recessive, h. That means short hair is dominant, \( \mathrm{H} \). It also says homozygous, which means the same, meaning \( \mathrm{HH} \) and hh. The genotype is possible genes (Hh, GG, or hh), and phenotype is possible traits either long-haired or short-haired. In Mendel's peas, round seeds are dominant to wrinkled. A pure-breeding round seed plant is crossed with a pure-breeding wrinkled seed plant. All of the offspring are round. If one of these round offspring is crossed with a wrinkled seed plant, what will be the expected proportion of plants with wrinkled seeds in the next generation?
