Title: How coat color is being inherited in these horses. Post by: element41skater on Oct 11, 2010 A black mare was crossed to a chestnut stallion and produced a bay son and a bay daughter. The two offspring were mated to each other several times, and they produced offspring of four different coat colors: black, bay, chestnut, and liver. Crossing a liver grandson back to the black mare gave a black foal, and crossing a liver granddaughter back to the chestnut stallion gave a chestnut foal. Explain how coat color is being inherited in these horses.
i think it is via epistasis, because the black and the allele and the chestnut allele mask the phenotype of the liver color? am i correct thanks Title: Re: How coat color is being inherited in these horses.
