Co- Dominance 1) In cattle, the alleles for red coat (R) and white coat (W) behave as the co-dominants. Both red and white hairs are produced in the heterozygote producing a coat pattern that is called "roan." a) Give the phenotypic and genotypic ratios to be expected among the offspring from a cross of two roan animals. b) What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios from a cross of a roan animal and a white one?
