In some dogs, long hair (L) is dominat over short hair (l), and wavy hair (W) is dominant over straight hair(w).
Draw a cross between a dog that is homozygous for long hair and straight hair with a dog that is homozygous for short hair and wavy hair. What would the genotype and phenotypes be?

The cross would be LWlw x lwww The genotypes of the offspring would be: LWlw (Long hair, Wavy hair), Lwlw (Long hair, Straight hair), lWlw (Short hair, Wavy hair), lwlw (Short hair, Straight hair). The phenotypes would be: Long hair, Wavy hair; Long hair, Straight hair; Short hair, Wavy hair; Short hair, Straight hair. The first generation of offspring will express the dominant traits of long hair and wavy hair and the recessive traits of short hair and straight hair.
