Answer:

Bb X bb

Explanation:

  • It is given that the allele B for the black coat is dominant over allele b for a brown coat.
  • A dominant allele always leads to the expression of the dominant trait in the heterozygous condition. 
  • When a black and brown horse is crossed as given in the question and the result is a brown foal, then the genotype of the brown foal must be bb as the brown coat is a recessive trait. 
  • Since each parent contributes one allele each for a given gene, the black horse must have b allele, and hence must be heterozygous Bb.
  • The cross is shown in the punnett square.
