The phenotype ratio for the cross would be 1 long:3 short.

This refers to the physical expression of genes.

Let us assume that the allele for short tail is T while that of long tail is t.

Since short tails are dominant over long tails, any genotype with T will always be expressed as short tail.

Thus, TT and 2Tt will have short tails while only tt will have a long tail, making a ratio of 3:1.
