Dominant alleles are the ones that show up in the phenotype. Recessive alleles do not unless both alleles are recessive, but can be passed on. For example: Tt , T=tall and t=short. Tall is dominant and short is recessive. You are tall and can pass on the short gene. Or, you can use black hair being dominant over red. Or, brown eyes being dominant over blue. Dominant can be seen on you and recessive can't.
BBEe and bbEe. Black is dominant, and brown is recessive. Yellow is also recessive. Because one parent is brown, for none of the puppies to also be brown the black parent cannot carry the recessive allele on the B locus. Because neither parent is yellow but some of the puppies are, both parents must carry the recessive allele on the E locus.

The phenotype will show the dominant trait. All dominant traits mask recessive ones; If the genotype is heterozygous (One dominant and one recessive) the organism's phenotype will be dominant.
Well considering that chestnut is recessive the foal most likely would be black, although it could be possible to get a bay foal.
They refer to the alleles in a genotype. For the basics of genetics, we can say that each allele is either dominant or recessive. Dominant is represented by an uppercase letter, and recessive a lowercase. If the genotype is AA, it is homozygous dominant. If it is aa it is homozygous recessive. If it is Aa, it is heterozygous. Simply, homozygous means that both of the alleles are the same and heterozygous means it has one of each allele.
Because the parent with the homozygous alleles for the dominant trait can only pass on that dominant allele to its offspring and the dominant allele, if present, is always expressed.
In genetics, you can either have a dominant allele (A) or a recessive allele (a). Being homozygous means that you have both of either a dominant or a recessive allele (ie you are either AA or aa). If the trait is a recessive trait, then you need to have it be homozygous recessive in order to express that trait. Hope this was helpful! :-)
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.

The parents genotypes will be Black and Red. BLACK being the dominant and red the recessive. The puppies genotypes would be Black and red, Black and Black, red and red.
the characters and habits that the offspring does not carry of the parents is known as recessive characters. example-woman-curl hair and fair body man-straight hair and black body. offspring-curl hair and black body in the above example, fair body and straight hair are the recessive characters that the child does not carry.
homo=same so... use a Punnet square the alleles are, say that black is dominant over white w w B Bw Bw B Bw Bw The cat will be black. If the opposite is true (white is dominant, black is recessive), then the cat will be white. If the genes are co-dominant, then the cat will be gray.
BBEe and bbEe. Black is dominant, and brown is recessive. Yellow is also recessive. Because one parent is brown, for none of the puppies to also be brown the black parent cannot carry the recessive allele on the B locus. Because neither parent is yellow but some of the puppies are, both parents must carry the recessive allele on the E locus.
True for the most part, if you breed two homozygous animals then it's a 50/50 chance of the offspring breeding true to one parent. If you breed a Homozygous animal and a heterozygous animal then the homozygous animal will breed true at least 90% of the time.
If the allele is dominant, you only need one copy for it to be expressed in the phenotype (you have TWO alleles for each trait) If the allele is dominant, you only need one copy for it to be expressed in the phenotype (you have TWO alleles for each trait)
