A Population of 500 cats has 2 alleles of interest for determining tail length. The T
allele encodes for a long tail and is completely dominant over the t allele, which
encodes for a short tail. The table below presents the phenotype of cats with each
possible genotype as well as the number of individuals in the population with each
genotype.
