e. Conclusion/ Answer to question(s) (10pts)

In dogs, wire-hired (H) is dominant to Smooth-haired (h). In a cross of a homozygous wire-haired dog
with a smooth-haired dog, what will be the phenotype of F 1 generation? What would be the genotype?
What would be the ratio of wire-haired dog in the F 1 generation?
