It means that the organism will breed true - in other words, the offspring will resemble the parents.

How does the homozygous gene affect horse color?

If a horse is homozygous dominant EE, he is black. Homozygous recessive ee, he is red. A black EE horse that is homozygous dominant for the Agouti gene (AA) will be a bay horse. If that same EE black were homozygous recessive for aa, then he would still appear all black. The Agouti gene does not effect a red ee horse's phenotype.


Can a horse that is sabino carrying a tobiano gene produce a foal that is homozygous tobiano?

If the horse is bred to another horse with at least one tobiano gene, it is possible the foal may be homozygous tobiano.


Can a horse with that is sobiano carrying a tobiano gene produce a foal that is homozygous tobiano?

Yes, a horse with tobiano and sabino genetics can produce a homozygous tobiano foal - when bred to another horse with at least one tobiano gene.

When you cross a homozygous brown horse with a heterozygous brown horse which will be the dominant trait?

If a black horse and a blackhorse bred together what colour would the foal be?

There are a couple possibilities, depending on the genetic makeup of the horses. First, a few definitions: homozygous for black means the horse has two genes for the color black. This horse can only pass on a black gene. Heterozygous for black - the horse has one gene for black, and one for chestnut. Either one can be passed on. The horse will appear black, though can produce chestnut foals. If they are both homozygous for black the foal will be black, and will be homozygous for black. If one of them is homozygous and the other heterozygous, you will always have a black foal, but there is a 50/50 chance of being homozygous for black. If both of them are heterozygous, you have a 25% chance of getting a chestnut, 50% chance of getting a heterozygous black, and 25% change of a homozygous black.

Homozygous


What offspring would you get if you cross a homozygous tall plant with a homozygous short plant?

Homozygous dominant would be all Capital letters. Homozygous recessive would be all lower case letters. So...in basic color genetics for horses: A homozygous recessive horse would be aaee A homozygous dominant horse would be AAEE


What is the probable phenotype and genotype of offspring of a cross between a horse homozygous for black color and a horse homozygous for chestnut color?

Well considering that chestnut is recessive the foal most likely would be black, although it could be possible to get a bay foal.
