1. When homozygous white cattle are crossed with homozygous red cattle, each of the offspring has a
mis of white and red hairs. This blend of colors is called roan. What can you infer about the pattern
of inheritance involved in the formation of a roan coat in cattle? Explain your answer.

When homozygous white cattle are crossed with homozygous red cattle, each of the offspring has a  mix of white and red hairs. This blend of colors is called roan. What can you infer about the pattern  of inheritance involved in the formation of a roan coat in cattle?

WW x RR= WR, WR, WR and WR

WW= Homozygous white cattle

RR= Homozygous red cattle

WR= Roan (Mix of red and white cattle)

WR x WR= WW, WR, WR and RR

When the roan cattle (WR) is crossed with one another, the offspring produced gives a mix of white and red cattle (75%) and homozygous red cattle (25%).
