Monohybrid inheritance — practice question

Two codominant alleles determine coat colour in cattle. Genotype $C^R C^R$ gives cattle a red coat. Genotype $C^W C^W$ gives cattle a white coat. Genotype $C^R C^W$ produces a roan coat; such cattle have both red hairs and white hairs in the coat. A red cow is mated with a roan bull. What is the expected ratio of coat colour in the offspring?

  • A50% red, 50% white
  • B100% red
  • C50% red, 50% roan
  • D100% roan
