Respuesta :

Answer:

2 Long tails and 2 Short tails

The phenotype ratio for the cross given in Punnett square is 3 short tail: 1 long tail.

What is phenotype?

  • "It is the observable physical properties of an organism."
  • For example: eye color, hair color, tail size etc.

What do you mean by Punnett square?

  • "The Punnett square is a table in which all of the possible outcomes for a genetic cross between two individuals with known genotypes are given."
  • Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism.

It is given that, short tails are dominant, so the allele is T.

And long tails are recessive, so the allele is t.

So the genotype that will be responsible for short tail is TT and Tt, whereas the genotype that will be responsible for long tail is tt.

Hence, the phenotype ratio is 3 (short tail) : 1 (long tail).
