EQUUS

Heterozygo­us + Noncarrier

-

If a horse is heterozygo­us for a dominant trait—he carries only one copy of the gene or mutation—when mated to a noncarrier, 50 percent of his offspring will inherit the dominant gene and 50 percent will not. So when heterozygo­us gray horses are mated to noncarrier­s of the gray gene, only half of the offspring will be gray.
