Bay (light, dark...) and Grey (looks white)
Actually, the two main color genes for horses is chestnut (red) and black. All horses- regardless of what other genes they have (creme, roan, etc.)- are either chestnut (red) or black at their base color. Not bay and grey. You can see the site in the related links explains all about the base colors, and what modifies them into other colors, like bay or grey. It says Morgan horses, but it goes for all breeds.

What causes a horse to be black?
it all depneds on the color and genes of the two parents of the horse if the father has dominating genes then the horse will be black if not it may be a differnt color

What color horse will you get if you breed a black horse with a chestnut horse?
It depends on the horse's genetics. Chestnut is recessive to black, therefore a chestnut horse always carries two chestnut genes but a black horse could be carrying two black genes OR a black and a chestnut, but the black is dominant therefore the horse has a black coat. Think of it as the black coat always sits 'on top' of the chestnut coat so if a horse has a black gene it will always show up but chestnut will only show up if there are no black genes at all. If you breed a homozygous dominant (two black genes) black horse to a chestnut, the foal will always be heterozygous dominant black. (One black gene and one chestnut gene) If you breed a heterozygous dominant (one black one chestnut) black horse to a chestnut, the foal has a 50% chance of being heterozygous dominant black and a 50% chance of being homozygous recessive chestnut. (two red genes) If you have no idea what your black horse's color genes are, think of it as having a 75% chance of a black foal, 25% chance of a chestnut foal.
What are two genes in a hybrid?
In genetics, a hybrid is crossing two species. It involves more that two genes. A mule is the hybrid of donkey and a mare (horse). If you cross a stallion with a jenny (female donkey) you will get a henny. A henny has no value.
Which two main factor work together to affect an organism's phenotype?
Genes and environment are the two main factors that work together to affect an organism's phenotype.
What is a name of a mottled horse?
Well, mottled may mean in coat colour- like a mottled gray colour. This can be identified if the horse has a shade of any colour underneath and has dapples overtop. This commonly appears in gray horses and also bays.
What are the two base color genes for a horse?
Red (AKA chestnut) and Black. In the related links you will find a page that can tell you a ton about the red and black genes, as well as how they work with other genes. *Note: it says Morgan horses, but it goes for all breeds*

What color horse will you get if you breed a golden dun horse with a black horse?
It depends on what is the dominant trait. Its all to do with the dominant and recessive genes of the parents. Each parent will have two chromosomes for color and the foal will have one from each. Most likely you will get either a dun or black but the specific chances of that happening can only be found out if more research is done into the parents and grandparents' genes.
What are the two main colors of wolves?
Any shade of grey. I'd say possibly Black or brown as the other main colour.
