Question

short fur is dominant over long fur in dogs. what would the phenotype of a dog be if its genotype is ss? long fur short fur unable to be determined ss

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In genetics, if a trait is dominant (e.g., short fur, represented by \(S\)) and another is recessive (long fur, represented by \(s\)), an organism with a homozygous recessive genotype (\(ss\)) will display the recessive phenotype. Since \(ss\) has no dominant allele (\(S\)) to mask the recessive one, the dog will have long fur.

Answer:

Long fur
