The difference between short and long angora hair in rabbits

The difference between short and long angora hair in rabbits is determined by a single autosomal gene with ominant and recessive alleles An amateur rabbit breeder has four rabbits an angora male an angora female a short maired male and a short haired female The following crosses were made with the outcomes shown angora female x angora male all progeny angora angora female x short haired male all progeny short haired short haired female x angora male 4 short haired and 5 angora progeny a Which phenotype is dominant b How do you know Be specific about which cross es inform your answer c What are the genotypes of the four parental rabbits Choose and define your own notation using a capital letter for the dominant allele and a lower case letter for the recessive allele d If the short haired male mates with the short haired female what progeny are expected in what proportions Give their genotypes and phenotypes e Is there a cross you could do between any two of the four original parent rabbits that would give progeny population consisting of having one hair length and having another What is the cross or why not as the case may be
