What role the stallion take in caring for the young?
In a herd the stallion will protect the mares and foals from any danger. (other horses and preditors) The stallion will either fight the intrudor or call out to the mares and they will run from the danger. in the wild a stallion will usually wait 2 hours after the foal is born. if the foal is not up and walking within that two hour period the stallion will usually kill the foal. He does not want to put his herd in danger by having a sick or slow foal slow down the herd. And he doesn't want it to suffer by being attacked by a different animal.
What color coalt would you get if you crossed a sorrel mare to a black stallion?
The foal could be a number of colors. Based on the description the stallion is either aaEe or aaEE. The mare is --ee (as her genetics at the agouti site is unknown). Research on the color of her parents and grandparents may be an indicator of the alleles at the agouti site. If the stallion is aaEe there is a 50% chance that the foal will be chestnut/sorrel. If the stallion is aaEE there will be no possibility of chestnut, however the resulting foal will be determined by the alleles that the mare has at the agouti site...which are currently unknown. If she has a single black parent, there is a 50% chance that the foal will be black (if the stallion is aaEE and a 25% chance of a black foal if the stallion is aaEe. Since black true black at the agouti site is homozygous recessive...it will be the mare's genetics at the agouti site that will determine the color of any non-chestnut foal.
