Answer 1

In codominant inheritance, the traits from both parents are expressed in the offspring. In this case, we have:

• The homozygous white horse with genotype CWCW (where "CW" represents the allele for white).
• The homozygous black horse with genotype CBCB (where "CB" represents the allele for black).

When these two horses are bred together, their offspring will have the genotype CWCBCW, which means they will inherit one allele from each parent. However, since the alleles are codominant, the resulting phenotype will express both colors, resulting in a roan coat.

Since all the offspring will be CWCBCW, and all will express both colors due to codominance, the likelihood that their offspring will be roan is 100%.

So, the correct answer is 100%.
