You have crossed two Mexican hairless dogs, and the offspring are 1/3 hairy and 2/3 hairless. Given this phenotypic ratio, draw the Punnett square for this cross

What are the genotypes of the P1 and F1 dogs in this cross? List the predicted genotype as well as the phenotype for each of the offspring. Which genotypes are hairless, and which are hairy? Can you design a genetic cross that would yield a true-breeding hairless line (where all offspring are hairless)?
