Question

short fur is dominant over long fur. based on the punnett square shown, how many puppies can we expect to have long fur? four two one zero

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the genotypes of the parents

Since short fur (S) is dominant over long fur (s), and the Punnett square shows both parents have the genotype Ss.

Step2: Analyze the Punnett square

When Ss x Ss is crossed, the possible genotypes are SS:Ss:ss = 1:2:1. Long - fur puppies have the genotype ss.

Step3: Count the number of ss genotypes in the Punnett square

In a standard Ss x Ss Punnett square (4 boxes), the number of ss is 1.
