In cattle, coat color is controlled by codominant alleles. A red-coated cow (RR) is crossed with a white-coated bull (WW). What are the expected phenotypes of the offspring?(1 point)

All red coat
All red coat

All white coat
All white coat

Red and white coat

Answer 1

In this scenario, since coat color is controlled by codominant alleles, the red-coated cow (RR) crossed with the white-coated bull (WW) will produce offspring that exhibit a mix of both traits.

The offspring (RW) will have a pink coat because both the red (R) and white (W) alleles are expressed together. Therefore, the expected phenotype of the offspring is:

All pink coat.
