Question

16. In cattle, an allele for straight coat is dominant to the allele for curly coat. (see prob. 9 for the relationship between the coat color alleles) a. If a curly red cow is mated to a homozygous straight white bull, what will be the genotype and phenotype of the resulting calf? b. If the calf is mated to a roan animal with curly hair, what are the possible offspring phenotypes?

The relationship between cattle genotypes and phenotypes. If a calf with a genotype and phenotype of coat color is mated to a roan animal with a genotype and phenotype, what is the resulting calf? The homozygous dominant allele for curly hair is mated with a straight hair allele. What are the possible offspring for the white bull? (see prob. for coal; offspring)
