Vhich statement best explains why so many variations in coat colors exist? O Each coat color is the result of mutations that take place after the horse is born. The recombination of genes during meiosis results in offspring that exhibit a variety of coat colors. O Varying gene expression after fertilization leads to a variety of coat colors. O Recombination during mitosis leads to the expression of different coat colors as the horse develops.

With your knowledge of genetics, what are the genotypes of the parents and children in the autosomal case? In the X-linked case?
