What else can I help you with?
What color horse would you get if you breed a chestnut to a bay roan?
Bay could be AaEE AaEe AAEE or AAEe the roan component could be RnRn or Rnrn. The color of the parents and grandparents may help the breeder determine if the parent could be homozygous for Rn, A. The chestnut parent is --ee. Again the color of the parents and grandparents may help determine the genetics of this parent at the agouti site. If the bay roan parent is AaEeRnrn and the chestnut parent is Aaee 25% chance of chestnut roan 25% chance of chestnut 12.5 % chance of black 12.5% chance of black roan 12.5 % chance of bay 12.5% chance of bay roan

If you breed a cremello stud with a sorrell mare what color would the foal be?
There is no difinite way to tell, but it could end up being a chestnut overo foal. They foal could also get it from it's distance dam's or sire's (great grandsire, grandsire, great granddam, granddam).
What color horse will you get if you breed a blue roan to grey?
The Jockey Club definition of roan is essentially the same as grey...which would mean that there would be a 75% to 100% chance of a horse that gradually turns white over a period of years reguardless of it's base coat color. If roan has true roan (Rn) genetics and the other parent is grey (G) we know that each parent has a 50% chance of transmitting their dominant gene (if both are heterozygous). This means that 25% chance of Roan 25% chance of Grey 25% chance of both Grey and Roan and a 25% chance of the foal being the base color only (base color could be black, chestnut, bay etc based on the parent's genetics at the Agouti and Extension sites). If one parent is homozygous the foal have that characteristic 100% of the time and the foal will also have the other characteristic 50% of the time.
What color horse will you get if you breed a strawberry roan stallion with a blue roan mare?
If either horse is homozygous for roan the foal will be roan, if both are heterozygous there is a 75% chance that the foal will be roan. If by strawberry roan you mean the stallion is a bay roan as opposed to a chestnut roan, we can surmise that the stallion is Rn-A-E- The mare is Rn-aaE- The base color of the foal, without regard to whether it is roan is as follows If the stallion or mare is EE at the extension site they will produce either a bay or black foal...since the stallion is bay he could be AA (only bay foals) or Aa which will produce 50-50 bay or black with this mare. If both the mare and the stallion are Ee at the extension site there is a 25% chance of a chestnut foal.
What would the offspring be if 2 roan cows were crossed?
There wouldn't be any offspring. A cow cannot mate with a cow to get a calf. You must mate a cow with a BULL to get a calf. So, if the question were reworded to: "What would the offspring be if a roan cow was crossed with a roan bull?" or vice versa, then we could answer it this way: Roan colouration in Shorthorns is a codominant trait, which means that one allele is not dominant nor recessive over another. So, the resulting offspring of a roan cross would be a mix of red calves, white calves, and roan calves. The Punnet Square reveals the probability of one of three coat colours occurring in the subsequent cross: Let R = red and W = white and RW = roan. RW bull x RW cow gives us: 1 RR 2 RW 1 WW In other words, there's a 25% chance that the resulting calf would be red, a 50% chance that the resulting calf would be roan, and a 25% chance that the calf could be white.
When roan color in cattle is the result of incomplete dominance between red and white color genes how would one produce a herd of pure breeding roan colored cattle?
It's simply not possible. When you breed a roan cow to a roan bull you only have a 50% chance of producing roan offspring, a 25% chance of producing white offspring and a 25% chance of producing red offspring. You have a much higher chance of producing a pure breeding red or white herd than a roan-coloured herd.
If a bay horse with a red roan horse the could the color be blue roan?
Yes, it is possible.
If a red cow is mixed with a roan bull what happens?
The offspring would likely be a mix of red and roan coloring, with some variation depending on the specific genetics of the parents. Roan and red are both common coat colors for cattle, so the calf might inherit characteristics from both parents.
Black mare really black her only foal you know of was a brown She is bred to a strawberry roan for this spring any chance of getting a blue roan?
If the stallion carries the a gene and is heterozygous for roan your chances of a true blue roan are 50% if your mare is Ee. If she is EE there is no chance of a chestnut coated foal so the color of the foal will be controlled by the genetics of the stallion at the agouti site...either brown, bay or black.
Mare is buckskin and sire is blue roan?
There are several different possibilities, depending on the genetic makeup of the parents. The base possibilities are: chestnut bay black The dilute gene (that makes the mare a buckskin) will give you: palomino buckskin smoky black The roan gene (that makes the sire roan) will give you: red roan bay roan blue roan If both genes are passed on, you get: palomino roan buckskin roan smoky black roan
Explain why it would be impossible to develop through breeding a stain of roan cattle or pink four-o'clocks?
Because there's always a chance of roan cows and roan bulls and pink four-o'clocks producing red and white calves as well as roan calves and white and red four-o'clocks as well as pink four-o'clocks, respectively. If you do a punnet square on either of these crosses, you will get the following: (Let's use the example of roan cows and bulls since this is in the Cattle Breeding category) RR = red WW= white RW = roan RW bull x RW cow makes: 1-RR 2-RW 1-WW This means you have a 25% chance of getting a red calf, a 25% chance of getting a white calf, and a 50% chance of getting a roan calf. No matter how many filial levels you make with these crosses, you will ALWAYS get this chance and this number, no matter what. This is what Incomplete Dominance is about: the Dominant allele is never dominant, and the recessive allele is never recessive.
