Question
This passage describes the Tobiano patterning trait in horses:
The Tobiano pattern is a type of coat pattern in horses. Horses with Tobiano patterning have white legs and rounded white patches on their bodies. Their tails may also have a mix of white and colored hairs.
In a group of horses, some individuals have Tobiano patterning and others do not. In this group, the gene for the Tobiano patterning trait has two alleles. The allele B is for having Tobiano patterning, and the allele b is for not having Tobiano patterning.
Dolly is a horse from this group. Dolly's phenotype for the Tobiano patterning trait is having Tobiano patterning. Dolly's genotype for the Tobiano patterning gene is Bb.
Based on this information, complete the following statement.

Dolly has one allele for the Tobiano patterning trait (B) and one allele for the non-Tobiano patterning trait (b), which gives her the phenotype of having Tobiano patterning due to the presence of the dominant allele B.
