Well, it really depends. You have to look at their pedigree and find out if anyone in their family has long hair. Such as the grandpa or grandma. 2 short hair dachsunds had 4 puppies. 3 were short haired and one was long. Their next litter was 2:2 and their last litter was 2:2 again. The dads parents both had long hair.

In dogs wire hair (D) is dominant over smooth hair (d) . If two wire haired dogs produce a smooth haired pup , the genotypes of the parent?

Both parents are Dd. They express the dominant gene but carry the recessive one, so there's a 25% chance that the pup will express the recessive one. If either parent was DD, then it would be impossible to produce a pup that expresses the recessive gene.


What would be the result of a short haired and long haired dachshund breeding together?

then depending on who is dominant you would get mostly the dominant breed and little of the other. probably in the second generation you would get more of the other.


Suppose that brown hair color is dominant over red hair color in humans Which of the statements is true?

If brown hair is dominant over red hair, then a person who is heterozygous for brown hair will have a brown hair phenotype. Red-haired offspring with two brown-haired parents are fairly common.


What is difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait?

A recessive trait is a trait that is not shown or expressed physically but is retained within the persons genes, whereas a dominant trait is a trait which opresses the recessive trait and is prodominantly shown or expressed physically. For example it is possible for two red-haired parents, both with recessive dark haired genes, to have a dark haired child. they must both have the recessive gene or the dominant gene of red - hair will be expressed in the child

How can a sister with the same parents have different hair colors?

Yes, this is possible. The parents may not have the same hair color as their offspring, because the offspring could have the hair color caused by a recessive allele. This allele could have been present in an ancestor, but not shown up again because its frequency is not as common as another hair color


Two short haired guinea pigs are mated several times out of 100 offspring 25 of them have long hair what are the probable genotypes of the parents?

It's obvious from this problem that short hair is dominant in guinea pigs. In that case, if we have 25 out of 100 offspring that have long hair, then there is no doubt that the parents are heterozygous for short hair. If you use the punnet square, and hypothesize that both parents are heterozygous for short hair and long hair, you will get a 25% chance that the offspring will be long haired. So, the answer to this problem is that both parents are heterozygous. Let H = short hair and h = long hair. Hh dam x Hh sire gives us, according to the Punnet Square: 25% HH 50% Hh 25% hh


Can a hazel eyed brown haired father and a blue eyed brown haired mother have a blonde haired blue eyed child?

This can definitely happen because of the concept of genetics. This especially deals with dominant and recessive traits. If both parents have one dominant trait and one recessive trait (causing dark hair and eyes) and both parents give their child the recissive traits, this outcome is possible (although pretty rare it is seen).


Both dark haired and dark eyed parents had blue eyed blond baby will next baby be blond haired blue eyed?

It depends on whether or not the genes this baby has are dominant. The traits it has from its parents seem to be recessive, as both the parents exhibited the dark hair/eyes combination. However, it has light hair and light eyes. This means that in order to have these traits, either a mutation has occurred or it has traits from the parents. There is even a chance that the traits of light hair and eyes are dominant, and were recessed in both parents. If this is a hypothetical baby, you are in for a load of mind hurt over nothing. If this baby is real, you should go ask someone with a PhD.

What is the difference between long haired guinea pigs and short haired guinea pigs?

That depends on the parents. They can be a cross between the long and short hair. They can just be the short hair. They can be the long hair. It will just be a surprise there is no way to predict it.
