Question

In dogs, single genes account for the curliness of the animal's coat and the presence or absence of facial "furnishings," such as bushy eyebrows and beards. For these traits, straight hair (R) is dominant over curly (r), and an abundance of wiry furnishings (W) is dominant over the clean-cut, unfurnished look (w). If two dogs that are heterozygous for both coat curliness and facial furnishings are mated, what can be predicted about their offspring?
