Whichever chromosome the stallion gives to the mare will decide if the foal will be a colt or a filly.
you have a 50/50 chance of producing both a male and female offspring, it really depends on whether or not your offspring's DNA will have XY chromosomes (male) or XX chromosomes (female)

To create a Punnett square for male and female traits, you would list the possible alleles (gene variants) for each parent along the top and side of the square. For male traits, you would list the alleles for the X and Y chromosomes. For female traits, you would list the alleles for the two X chromosomes. Then, you fill in the square to show the possible combinations of alleles for their offspring based on the rules of inheritance.
The two alleles for height in pea plants come from the parents of the pea plant. Each parent contributes one allele, which determines the height of the offspring.
The female is typically placed on the top of a Punnett square, while the male is placed on the side. This is a general convention to represent the alleles and their possible combinations in offspring.
The combination of a female offspring would be XX
Female offspring are commonly referred to as daughters.
Yes, the sex of the offspring is determined by the chromosomes contributed by the parents. The female parent always gives an X chromosome, while the male parent can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome, determining whether the offspring will be male (XY) or female (XX).
When gametes are formed through a process called reproduction, where a male's gamete combines with a female gametes' cell and produces a zygote; the alleles for that are varied in different fertilized zygotes. For example a zygote could have two different alleles from the gene from the male and the female; G and g, thus it would be heterozygous. However at the same time another zygote could have the gene of GG which would be homozygous and pure green.
They are the offspring of female horses and male donkeys.
50% of the offspring are female. Gender determination in offspring is typically governed by a 50/50 chance.
All the offspring will have red eyes because the trait for red eyes is dominant and the female is heterozygous (carrying one dominant red eye allele). White eyes are recessive, so the offspring would need to inherit two white eye alleles to have white eyes.
