In cats, the long hair trait is dominant and the short hair trait is recessive. What is the chance of a homozygous short-haired offspring if a heterozygous long-haired male mate with a short-haired?

the chance of a homozygous short-haired offspring if a heterozygous long-haired male mate with a short-haired is 50%
