INTRODUCTION If Mendel were given a mommy white
horse a daddy brown horse asked what their
offspring would look like, he would've said that
a certain percent would be white the others
would be brown.  He would never have even
considered that a white horse a brown horse
could produce a roan (a color that results when
the cow has both red and white hairs) horse!  For
Mendel, the phenotype of the offspring from
parents with different phenotypes always
resembled the phenotype of at least one of the
parents. Mendel was unaware of the phenomenon you
will investigate at this station.
