A gene that affects hair length in dogs has two alleles. The allele for short hair (L) is dominant to the allele for long hair (l). A cross of heterozygous two short-haired dogs produces six short-haired and two long-haired offspring. Which of the following best explains how the long-hair phenotype can appear in the offspring of two short-haired dogs?
A. Only recessive alleles are inherited from homozygous parents.
B. Dominant alleles grow weaker as they are passed from parents to offspring.
C. Only the parent with a dominant allele can pass that allele to offspring in sexual reproduction.
D. A heterozygous parent has an equal chance of passing either the dominant allele or the recessive allele to offspring.

B. Their offspring has a 25% chance of expressing the recessive phenotype.
C. Their offspring has a 75% chance of expressing the recessive phenotype.
D. Their offspring has a 100% chance of expressing the recessive phenotype.
