In horses, the allele for long legs (L) is dominant over the allele for short legs (1). What is the
probability of short legs in the offspring of parents that are both heterozygous for the trait?

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] or 25%

Explanation:

Heterozygous means that the organism has different alleles (L1)

Draw a punnet square:

       L           1

L     LL         L1

1      L1          11

11 is the allele for short legs so 1 in 4 of the outcomes will lead to an offspring with short legs
