5.) In short horn cattle, red coat color is incompletely dominant over white, to give roan. Starting with a roan bull and white cows, how could you eventually establish a true breeding red herd? white herd? Show the crosses you would use to establish the herds.

Step 1
Red coat color (R) is incompletely dominant over white (W), so a roan bull would have the genotype RW. A white cow would have the genotype WW. To establish a true breeding red herd: Show more…

Roan color in cattle is the result of incomplete dominance between the red and white color alleles of a gene controlling coat color (genotype of roan-colored animals: R/r). How would one produce a herd of pure-breeding roan-colored cattle? Group of answer choices: - Cross roan with roan - Cross red with white - Cross roan with white - Cross roan with red - It cannot be done.

7. Roan cattle are the heterozygous hybrids of a cross between a white bull and a red cow. What offspring are expected from mating a roan bull and a roan cow? 25% white, 50% roan, and 25% red 100% roan 75% white, 25% red 25% roan, 50% red, and 25% white

In cattle, roan coat color (mixed red and white hairs) occurs in the heterozygous (Rr) offspring of red (RR) and white (rr) homozygotes. When two roan cattle are crossed, the phenotypes of the progeny are found to be in the ratio of 1 red:2 roan:1 white. Which of the following crosses could produce the highest percentage of roan cattle? red x white roan x roan white x roan red x roan
