Let's hypothesize that cats have several traits that are dependent on just one gene. Hair length and
white masking are two such traits. The Lallele for long hair is dominant over the I allele for short hair.
The M allele, indicating an all-white cat, is dominant over the m allele for cats with some other colors
besides white. The M allele is rather rare, but it is dominant.
Answer the following questions
