Answer:
1/2= 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Combination of chromosomes x and y give four possible outcomes as progenies. these out comes are xx, xy, yx, yy. ( considering only living progeny)
For heterozygous offspring only two outcomes possible that is xy and yx .
Therefore the probability that their first offspring is also a roan and paint horse can be given as [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex]= 1/2
