In horses, black coloring (B) is dominant, and chestnut coloring (b) is recessive. What percentage of offspring are expected to be chestnut?

This question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:

- In horses, black coloring (B) is dominant, and chestnut coloring (b) is recessive. A homzygous black horse crosses with a chestnut horse.

What percentage of offspring are expected to be chestnut?

The answer is 0%

Explanation:

This question involves a gene coding for color in horses. The allele for black coloring (B) is dominant over the allele for chestnut coloring (b) is recessive.

According to this question, if a homzygous black horse (BB) crosses with a chestnut horse (bb), the following gamete will be produced by each parent;

BB - B only

bb - b only

Using these gametes in a punnet square, the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:

Bb, Bb, Bb, Bb

All of these offsprings are phenotypically black colored although heterozygous in genotype. Hence, 0%  of offspring are expected to be chestnut.
