Please help me solve this genetics Q and can you show me the punnet square?

The allele for red coat in cattle is co-dominant with the allele for white coat color. The heterozygous phenotype is roan color. Several roan bulls and roan cows are mated. What are the anticipated genotypes and their expected frequencies? Thank you.

    Rr = heterozygous roan

    set up your punnets square. ignore the long dash, it's just that spaces don't work on Y!A.

    ---------R r

    R

    r

    match the 1st R on the top with the second R on the bottom so it would be RR. then match the 1st R with the 2nd r on the bottom. Rr. do it for the rest.

    so the possible phenotypes: 25% RR (homozygous dominant), 50% Rr (Heterozygous), and 25% rr (homozygous recessive)

    oh and the punnets square:

    -------R-------r

    R|--RR-|---Rr-|

    r|---Rr--|------rr|

    R = difficult r = soft i'm no longer able to allure to strains to create a Punnett sq.. i could propose you make the main of particularly bit paper and duplicate what I typed under. besides the easy actuality that, the educational have been located in simple terms to take in section. for this reason, do no longer duplicate the educational yet pass away empty factors of their place. The horizontal strains might desire to be copied. I' am no longer able to coach vertical strains so, you're able to upload those vertical strains by making use of fixing the slanted strains with vertical strains. . . . . . . . . Rr . . . . . . R . . . r ........._______ . . . .r / Rr / rr / rr....../___/__/ . . . .r / Rr / rr ........./___/__/ The above Punnett sq. exhibits the predicted outcomes for one crossing that would desire to offer 4 offspring. with the purpose to verify the predicted the outcomes for 8 offspring, you will probable purely double the outcomes from one Punnett sq.. by using actuality the Punnett sq. exhibits that the 4 offspring could have genotypes of two Rr and 2 rr, then 2 Punnett squares may well be 2 circumstances that or 4 Rr and four rr. The phenotypes may well be 4 difficult and four soft. The ratios could all be an identical. undergo in suggestions, you're able to cut back ratios so for this Punnett sq., the genotype ratios may well be 1Rr : 1rr. The phenotype ratio may well be a million difficult : a million soft.
