I'm a bit confused here, Flood.
Okay, so I was studying Biology by doing a practice multiple choice test. I came up to a question which goes like this:
[u]If short hair in dogs is dominant, then[/u]:
A. Mating of Short haired dogs would produce only short haired offspring.
B. Mating of Long haired dogs would produce only Long haired offspring.
There were two other options, but forget those.
I picked A, but B was the correct answer. I don't get it, shouldn't the mating of two animals with a dominant gene always produce offspring with that gene?
Or am I just really derpy?

Edited by LolWutBBQ: 7/18/2013 7:35:31 AMB makes sense, for long hair to be present there can't be any genes for short hair (because those genes are dominant and then the dog would have short hair) which means if you only have long hair genes then the offspring can only have long hair.
