Roan color in cattle is the result of incomplete dominance between red and white color alleles (R/r) of a single gene that controls coat color. How would one produce a herd of pure-breeding roan-colored cattle?   Choose an answer below: Cross roan with roan animals Cross red with white animals Cross roan with white animals Cross roan with red animals It cannot be done.

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.
