1. Ee, aa

2. EE, Aa

3. Ee, Aa

If a horse is black based coat but carries a recessive copy of the Red gene (Ee), what color will the coat be based on these Agouti results?

Thanks a BUNCH!

1. Ee, aa Black

2. EE, Aa Bay

3. Ee, Aa Bay


E trumps e, so the horse has a black base coat. Agouti then modifies the black coat "pushing" the black to the edges of the horse.
