A cross between a horse homozygous for red hair and a horse homozygous for white hair results in offspring with the coat colour called roan. When you look at the fur of the roan offspring you see both red and white hairs. What type of inheritance best explains this?  a) blending inheritance b)codominance c)incomplete codominance d)multiple alleles
