In cats, a dominant allele F causes fur to be short, and its recessive allele f produces long fur. Eye color is controlled by an independently assorting gene; the dominant allele G produces green eyes, and the recessive allele g produces blue eyes. When cats from a true-breeding short, green-eyed variety are crossed with cats from a true-breeding long, blue-eyed variety, what would be the genotype of their progeny?
