Answer:
This question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:
- In horses, black coloring (B) is dominant, and chestnut coloring (b) is recessive. A homzygous black horse crosses with a chestnut horse.
What percentage of offspring are expected to be chestnut?
The answer is 0%
Explanation:
This question involves a gene coding for color in horses. The allele for black coloring (B) is dominant over the allele for chestnut coloring (b) is recessive.
According to this question, if a homzygous black horse (BB) crosses with a chestnut horse (bb), the following gamete will be produced by each parent;
BB - B only
bb - b only
Using these gametes in a punnet square, the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:
Bb, Bb, Bb, Bb
All of these offsprings are phenotypically black colored although heterozygous in genotype. Hence, 0% of offspring are expected to be chestnut.
