In horses, the Extension gene helps to determine coat color. The dominant trait (E) produces black pigment in the coat. The recessive trait (e) produces red pigment. Would a cross between a stallion who is homozygous, EE, and a mare who is heterozygous, Ee, ever produce a foal with a red coat?(1 point)

Question
