Assume that a new breed of short-tailed cats is brought into domestication. breeders discover that when two of these short-tailed cats are crossed, three tail lengths are found in the offspring. after two years of breeding short-tailed cats the following proportions of kittens were counted -- 26% long-tailed; 50% short-tailed; 24% tailless.
what type of inheritance for tail length does the information, listed above, suggest?
{note: notice the approximate proportions of each phenotype}
a. tail length is definitely produced via complete dominance.
b. tail length is obviously sex-linked.
c. this is clearly a case of multiple alleles.
d. this is a probable case of incomplete dominance [intermediate inheritance].
