Answer 1

The coat patterns you described in horses (brown coats BB, white coats WW, and spotted coats BW) suggest a pattern of **codominance**. In this case, both alleles are expressed equally in the phenotype of the heterozygous individuals, resulting in the spotted coat pattern. Therefore, the correct response is:

**codominance**.
