Question

In a group of cows some individuals have solid coloring and some have white spots. In this group the gene for the coat pattern trait has two alleles. The allele for solid coloring a is dominant over the allele for white spots. Buck is a cow from this group. Buck has a homozygous genotype AA for the coat pattern Gene. Based on this information what is Buck's phenotype for the coat pattern trait? Is it solid coloring or white spots

Answer 1

Buck's genotype is homozygous AA for the coat pattern gene, which means that he has two dominant alleles for solid coloring. Therefore, Buck's phenotype for the coat pattern trait is solid coloring.
