In cats, having a short tail is recessive to having a long tail. If a mother cat is heterozygous for this trait and a father cat is homozygous dominant for having a long tail, what will most likely be true about their offspring?

Answer: All cats will have long tails

Explanation: Since the mother is heterozygous for a long tail, and the father is homozygous dominant for having a long tail, there alleles would look like this ( Ee EE). That means that the offspring will all have long tails, because the allels are dominant to short tails.

Answer:

Their offspring will have long tails.

Step-by-step explanation:

The father has a Homozygous Dominant trait, meaning it will over power the mother's recessive genes.
