(N/A) $(i)$ Let $B$ be the allele for barking and $b$ for silent. Let $E$ be the allele for erect ears and $e$ for drooping ears. The cross is $BbEe \times BbEe$.
The expected phenotypic ratio is $9:3:3:1$.
$(ii)$ The different phenotypes observed are:
Barking dogs with erect earsBarking dogs with drooping earsSilent dogs with erect earsSilent dogs with drooping ears
$9$$3$$3$$1$

$(iii)$ This type of cross is known as a Dihybrid cross.
