[QUOTE="dun, post: 52766, member: 34"] All of the referals to polled also apply to black color, horned applies the same with red. With color there are some dilutor genes that change things a bit, but I'll make this strictly a black-red/polled-horn explanation. Heterozygous means one of each gene. One polled and one horned. Homozygous means both genes are the same. Polled(black) is dominant. A homozygous polled(black) will alwasy have 100% polled (black) offspring regardless of with horn or color status of the animal it is bred to. A heterozygous polled(black) animal bred to a homozygous horned (red) animal will have half of it's offspring polled (black) and half horned (red). Each parent passes one gene to it's calf for color and for horn status. Statistically a heterozygous animal will pass a red or black gene 50% of the time and a horned or polled gene 50% of the time. dun [/QUOTE]
