Assume coat color in horses is controlled by a single gene. Palomino horses have a golden yellow coat, chestnut horses have a brown coat, and cremello horses have a coat that is almost white. A series of crosses between the three different types of horses produced the following offspring: Cross Offspring palomino times
palomino x palomino 13 palomino, 6 chestnut, 5 cremello
chestnut x chestnut 16 chestnut
cremello x cremello 13 cremello
palomino x chestnut 8 palomino, 9 chestnut
palomino x cremello 11 palomino, 11 cremello
chestnut x cremello 23 palomino
A. Explain the inheritance of the palomino, chestnut, and cremello phenotypes in horses.
B. Assign symbols for the alleles that determine these phenotypes, and list the genotypes of all parents and offspring given in the preceding table.
