This is the expected
distribution of progeny for the mating above.
The probability of a particular combination of phenotypes is obtained as the
expected number of that combination divided by the total number. For this mating,
find the probability of an albino with short hair and a dew claw.

Law of Independent Assortment - 5
Independent
assortment applies to two or more loci. Consider the following example
for 3 three loci in dogs:
C -
designates a dominant allele for expression of color. The recessive c produces the albino phenotype when homozygous.
L -
designates a dominant allele for short hair. The recessive allele l produces long hair when homozygous dd.
D -
designates a dominant allele associated with no dew claw. The recessive d produces a single dew claw when homozygous.
