Question 20

Answer 1

In the given scenario, we have a red-coated cow with genotype RR and a white-coated bull with genotype WW. Since the alleles are codominant, when they are crossed (RR x WW), the offspring will inherit one allele from each parent, resulting in the genotype RW for all offspring.

The phenotypic expression of codominant alleles means that both alleles are expressed equally in the phenotype. Therefore, the offspring will have a phenotype that is a blend of both parental traits.

In this case, the expected phenotype of the offspring will be:

**All pink coat.**

So the correct response is "All pink coat."
