All red coat
All red coat

All pink coat

Answer 1

In cattle, coat color is controlled by codominant alleles, meaning that when two different alleles are present, both are expressed in the offspring. In this case, crossing a red-coated cow (RR) with a white-coated bull (WW) would result in all offspring having a phenotype that is a blend of both traits.

Since RR (red) and WW (white) are crossed, all the offspring will have the genotypic combination RW, which results in a pink coat color.

Therefore, the correct response is:

All pink coat
