the female cat is heretozygous....
yes the male is homozygous. but the male is actually homozygois recessive.. but the option was just recessive.
and FYI the question said " most appropriate ans"
so the female is heretozygous is the right answer

Option B was both of the parents is heterozygous.. which I think is correct.. the question said (as I remember and I don't trust my memory:X3: ) that the allele for short hair is dominant over allele for long hair and the parents produce 2 long hair kittens and the rest short (I don't remember correctly), if so then both parents must be heterozygous to get a long hair offspring..

T=short hair, t=long hair.
T t
T-TT Tt
t- Tt Tt
Short hair : Long hair
3 : 1

da answer was one parent is homozygous
see, question said "MOST APPROPRIATE ANSWER"
its tru that the male is homozygous, but its actually homozygous recessive.!!!!
so, the femaly cat is heterozygous is a more appropriate answer as, the option was only homozygous, not homozygous recessive...
GET IT?!!!

BRO!... they produced 5 kittens, 2 with long hair..... so the ratio is 3:2 which is 1.5:1....... this is similar to 1:1 not 3:1
so as they r 1:1 one parent is heretozygous and the other is homozygous recessive!
