Answer 1

In the case of codominant inheritance, where both alleles are expressed, the offspring of a homozygous white horse (CWCW) and a homozygous black horse (CBCB) would inherit one allele from each parent.

The possible genotypes for the offspring would be:

• CWC (from the white parent)
• CBC (from the black parent)

Since both alleles (C and C*) would be expressed in the phenotype of the offspring, they would display a roan coloration, which is a mix of both colors.

Therefore, 100% of the offspring would be roan, where both colors are represented.

The correct answer is:

100%
