The length of a dog's tail is an inherited trait. The allele for
short tails is dominant (T) over the allele for long tails (t). A
dog breeder mates two short-tailed dogs (parents). One parent is
homozygous and the other is heterozygous for this trait. A litter
of twelve puppies, all with short tails, is produced (first
generation). The breeder mates one of the first generation dogs
with a short-tailed dog from another litter. A litter of ten
puppies is produced (second generation). The breeder is
surprised when one of the second generation puppies has a long
tail. Describe the genetic make-up of the parents and puppies
that produced this inheritance pattern.
