Answer 1

In codominant inheritance, both alleles in a heterozygous individual contribute to the phenotype.

Given:

• The homozygous white horse is represented by the genotype CWCW, where "CW" represents the allele for white.
• The homozygous black horse is represented by the genotype CBCB, where "CB" represents the allele for black.

When these two horses are bred together, all offspring will inherit one allele from each parent, resulting in the genotype CWCBCB.

This genotype is heterozygous (CWC), and since the genes are codominant, the phenotype will show both colors represented, resulting in a roan coat.

Thus, the likelihood that their offspring will be roan is:
