Monohybrid Problems llustrating Codominance 5. Another type of monohybrid 'inheritance involves the expression of both phenotypes in the heterozy- gous situation. This is called codominance. One well-known example of codominance occurs in the coat color of Shorthorn cattle. Those with reddish-gray roan coats are heterozygous (RR'), and result from a mating between a red (RR) Shorthorn and one that's white (R'R'). Roan cattle don't have roan-colored hairs, as would be expected with incom- plete dominance, but rather appear roan as a result of having both red and white hairs. Thus, the roan col- oration is not a consequence of pigments blending in each hair. Because the R and R' alleles are both fully expressed in the heterozygote, they are codominant. a. If a roan Shorthorn cow is mated with a white bull, what will be the genotypic and phenotypic ratios in the F, generation? genotypic ratio . phenotypic ratio - b.

5. Another type of monohybrid inheritance involves the expression of both phenotypes in the heterozy-
gous situation. This is called codominance.
One well-known example of codominance occurs in the coat color of Shorthorn cattle. Those with
reddish-gray roan coats are heterozygous (RR'), and result from a mating between a red (RR) Shorthorn
and one that's white (R'R'). Roan cattle don't have roan-colored hairs, as would be expected with incom-
plete dominance, but rather appear roan as a result of having both red and white hairs. Thus, the roan col-
oration is not a consequence of pigments blending in each hair. Because the R and R' alleles are both fully
expressed in the heterozygote, they are codominant.
