About the question:

I failed to find the complete question with the Punnett square, so in the answer and explanation I will propose five options for crosses between dogs with different genotypes, and for each option, I will remark the percent of the offspring that is expected to have wirehair. You just need to look for the option that matches your Punnett Square.

Answer:

  • Option 1: HH  x HH ----> 100% of the progeny is wire-haired, HH
  • Option 2: HH x Hh---> 100% of the progeny is wire-haired, HH + Hh
  • Option 3: Hh  x  Hh --->75% of the progeny is wire-haired, 25% HH + 75% Hh
  • Option 4: Hh  x  hh ---> 50% of the progeny is wire-haired, Hh
  • Option 5: hh x hh ----> 0% of the progeny is wire-haired
