In cattle, red hair and white hair are codominant. Cattle with both white hair and red hair are what?
please help!
thanks!
Roan.
say red hair is Hr- where - is either another Hr or a recessive allele and white hair is Hw- then roan cows are HrHw heterozygous codominant
Hope this helps :)
yes
i am confused!!!!!!???
stupid idiots heres the answer- I am first two words, because I don't get it either.
Thak you this helped a lot but I get because my teacher explained it to my class thank you guys.
In cattle, red hair and white hair are codominant. This means that both traits are expressed at the same time in individuals that inherit both alleles.
To determine what cattle with both white hair and red hair are called, we need to understand the genetic terms for these traits. In this case, we can assign a letter to represent each trait: R for red hair and W for white hair.
Now let's consider the different possible combinations of alleles. If an individual inherits two copies of the red hair allele (RR), it will have red hair. Similarly, if it inherits two copies of the white hair allele (WW), it will have white hair.
However, when an individual inherits one copy of the red hair allele and one copy of the white hair allele (RW), both traits are expressed together. Cattle with both red hair and white hair are referred to as roan.
To summarize, cattle with both white hair and red hair are called roan.
