In cats, long hair is recessive to short hair. a true breeding (homozygous) short-haired male is mated to a long-haired female. what are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of their children?

punnet square 1:

homozygous (LL: normal) or (ll: affected) homo meaning same

recessive (ll)

Square would look like:

Ll, Ll, Ll, Ll= 100% of the cats will be carrier of short hair genes.

punnet square 2: if the male was affected he would also have ll as his traits, which would make 100% of their offspring affected mutantsmeaning they would all have recessive traits.

Since you did not say that the male was affected and that he was a true breeding short haired male, then punnet square 1 is what you need to look at. I put square 2 up so that you could see what the ratio would be if both male and female cats had (ll) alleles.

Hopefully this helped and good luck. 

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
