Answer 1

In the case of codominance, when a homozygous white horse (CWCW) is bred with a homozygous black horse (CBCB), the offspring will inherit one allele from each parent.

Since CWCW represents the white phenotype and CBCB represents the black phenotype, the offspring will inherit the alleles as follows:

• From the white horse: CW (white allele)
• From the black horse: CB (black allele)

The genotype of all offspring will be CWC and CBC, which will express the roan phenotype where both white and black colors are represented in the coat.

Therefore, the likelihood that their offspring will be roan is 100%.

So, the correct answer is 100%.
