More Information
The gray coat color in horses is determined by a dominant allele (G). When a Gg horse is mated with a gg horse, there is a 50% probability of getting gray offspring.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the genotype probabilities with phenotype probabilities. Be sure to distinguish between the presence of the allele and the expression of the trait.
