Question

When homozygous red coat coloured and white coat coloured cattle were crossed, all the $F_{1}$ progeny were of roan coat colour. By selfing of $F_{1}$ Red, Roan, and White coat colour cattle are obtained in the ratio

Solution

The correct option is B 1:2:1
The ratio of Red : Roan: White coat colour are 1:2:1 because of codominance. Heterozygous individuals (RW) show roan coat colour as both the alleles express themselves equally.

Q. Case: Purebred shorthorn cattle of white coat (WW) were crossed with purebred cattle of red coat (RR). The

F_{1}

cattle had coats with patches of white and red side by side.

But in certain condition, if a shorthorn cattle of white coat (WW) was crossed with a cattle of red coat (RR) resulted in all pink coated cattles. Then, what are the chances of the appearance of red coat in a cross between pink coated and white coated cattles?

Q. In shorthorn cattle, genes for red (R) and white (r) coat colour occur. Cross between red (RR) and white (rr) produces roan (Rr). This is an example of
