Question

if a homozygous white horse $c^{w}c^{w}$ and a homozygous black horse $c^{b}c^{b}$ are bred together, what is the likelihood that their offspring will be roan with both colors represented in their hair if this gene follows a codominant inheritance pattern? (1 point)

50%

0%

25%

100%

Explanation:

Step1: Determine gametes

The homozygous white horse \(C^{W}C^{W}\) can only produce \(C^{W}\) gametes. The homozygous black horse \(C^{B}C^{B}\) can only produce \(C^{B}\) gametes.

Step2: Create Punnett square

	\(C^{W}\)

In codominance, \(C^{B}C^{W}\) will show both phenotypes (roan). Since all offspring have the \(C^{B}C^{W}\) genotype.
