A new phenotype of mouse has been discovered - short-tails. You have been given a short-tailed mouse and do not know anything about its genotype. You decide to cross this short-tailed mouse with a long-tailed mouse. Multiple crosses of this short-tailed mouse to long-tailed mice produces 27 long-tailed mice and 25 short-tailed mice. When you cross these short-tailed progeny with each other, you get 31 short-tailed mice and 11 long-tailed mice. Use the
letters A and a for this answer and use a dash "-" if you do not know the second allele - e.g. A-
