Answer:

Genetic diversity

Explanation:

Genetic diversity is when a population of a species, humans, in this case, have different genes between different individuals. One person may have blue eyes while the others have brown. This shows diversity within the gene pool.

Genetic diversity is also important to the survival of a species. Two-parent reproduction leads to genetic diversity. Having different alleles within a population allows for adaptation. On the other hand, one-parent reproduction does not allow for genetic diversity. This hinders the species because it does not let species to slowly improve the gene pool through natural selection and adaptation.

Tomtit [17]
In order for a recessive trait to be apparent in an organism, the organism must receive a copy of the allele for that trait from both parents. 
Let the:
black coat: B
brown coat: b
Trotter: T
pacer: t

The offspring received both of the recessive alleles because it demonstrates the recessive phenotypes. Therefore, they genotype of the offspring is:
bbtt

The black horse that is a pacer that can produce this offspring will be:
Bbtt

Therefore, the brown horse's genotype must be:
bbTt

The offspring will receive b from both parents and t from both parents.
