If one parent seal is a heterozygous long-whisker and the other is short whiskers what is the probability that the offspring will have short whiskers?

If one parent seal is heterozygous for long whiskers (let's denote long whiskers as "L" and short whiskers as "l"), their genotype would be Ll. The other parent, having short whiskers, would be homozygous recessive (ll). The possible offspring genotypes from these parents would be Ll and ll, resulting in a 50% probability of the offspring inheriting short whiskers (ll). Thus, there is a 50% chance that the offspring will have short whiskers.
