In certain breeds of dogs, two different sets of alleles determine the color pattern. Black color is dominant and red color is recessive; solid color is dominant and white spotting is recessive. A homozygous black-and-white spotted male is crossed with a red-and-white spotted female. What would be the phenotypic ratio of their offspring?

In dogs, the gene for fur color has two alleles. The dominant allele codes for grey fur, and the recessive allele codes for black fur. CROSS #1: The female dog is heterozygous and the male dog is homozygous recessive. Write out the genotypic cross: Complete the Punnett square for this cross: Give the genotypic ratio for this cross: Give the phenotypic ratio for this cross.

A black dog and a white dog have puppies. All the puppies have black fur. Which trait is dominant? If the puppies were to mate, what ratio of black and white offspring would you expect? Genetics. Biology
