what does rem mean?

anonymous · Answer

oh sorry red

anonymous · Answer

well think of it this way, if you mix a deep red paint with white what happens?

anonymous · Answer

it turns lighter red and if you add to much white it will turn pink

anonymous · Answer

exactly. but which color is more dominant over the other?

anonymous · Answer

the red because it is the darker one but what would the genetics be

anonymous · Answer

ok so just apply that to the question. the mother is red and the father is white. the foal still comes out red so obviously the mother has given the foal the Dominant gene

anonymous · Answer

oh ok thank you you are awesome !!!

anonymous · Answer

the baby received the dominant red gene from it's mother (Rr or RR) but has a white gene from the father. the father's gene's are recessive (ww) see if that helps
