5. Short hair in rabbits is governed by a dominant gene and long hair by its recessive allele. Black hair results from the action of the dominant genotype and white from the recessive, the heterozygote being brown. When two dihybrids are crossed, what: a. phenotypic ratio is expected among the progeny? b. proportion of the genotypes will be bred true? c. proportion of all short-haired individuals is expected to be brown? d. portion of the genotypes is heterozygous at both loci?
