Basic body color for horses is influenced by several genes, one of which has several different alleles, Two of these alleles—the chestnut (dark brown) allele and a diluting (pale cream) allele (often incorrectly called ‘albino’) - display incomplete dominance. A horse heterozygous for these two alleles is a palomino (golden body color with flaxen mane and tail). Is it possible to produce a herd of pure-breeding palomino horses? Why or why not?

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
