Answer:
50% or 1/2
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for ear length in dust bunnies. The allele for short ears (S) are dominant to the allele for long ears (s). This means an heterozygous individual (Ss) will possess short ears.
According to this question, If a heterozygous female (Ss) mates with a long ear male (ss), the parents will produce gametes as follows:
Ss - S and s
ss - s and s
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:
Ss, Ss, ss, ss
- Ss (1/2 or 50%) offsprings will have short ears.
- ss (1/2 or 50%) offsprings will have long ears.
