Question

In horses, Chesnut hair color is recessive to black. The pacing gait is recessive to trotting and long hair is recessive to short hair. Cross a chestnut horse heterozygous for pacing and hair length with a hybrid horse and determine the phenotypic ratios
^^^Please help with the right answer. I will give brainliest to the right one

Answer 1

9:3: 3:1  is the phenotypic ratio showing traits as black and long hair : black and short hair: chestnut and long hair: chestnut and short hair when a chestnut horse heterozygous for pacing and hair length with a hybrid horse.

Explanation:

Dominant trait = black hair colour (BB,Bb), trotting (TT,Tt) , long hair (LL,Ll)

recessive trait = chesnut hair colour (bb), pacing gait (tt), short hair(ll)

cross between chestnut horse heterozygous for pacing and hair length will have alleles as BbLl

alleles for hybrid horse will also be heterozygous Bb, Ll

Punnett square to show the cross:

      BL         Bl       bL         bl

BL  BBLL  BBLl     BbLL    BbLl

Bl   BBLl    BBll     BbLl      Bbll

bL  BbLL  BbLl      bbLL     bbLl

bl    BbLl  Bbll       bblL        bbll

phenotype ratio

black and long hair : black and short hair: chestnut and long hair: chestnut and short hair

9:3: 3:1  is the phenotype ratio.
