Explicación
## Step 1In this problem, we are dealing with the principles of genetics, specifically the concept of dominance. The problem states that short fur is dominant over long fur in dogs. This means that if a dog has at least one dominant allele (S), it will have short fur.## Step 2The genotype of a dog is represented by two alleles, one from each parent. In this case, the genotype is 's', which means the dog has two recessive alleles.## Step 3Since the dog has two recessive alleles, it will not have the dominant trait of short fur. Instead, it will have the recessive trait of long fur.
