In horses, coat color is determined by a genetic locus in which the white allele is dominant to the colored allele, but when the embryo is homozygous for the white allele it is fatal (death in utero). If two white horses mate, then what proportion of the offspring will have white coats? O 1/2 1/3 O 2/3 O 3/4 O 1/4
