Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Roan color is controlled by two codominant alleles. Let us assume that the red color allele is R and the white color allele is W. Thus, the roan color would be RW.

Roan color cow is crossed with a white bull;

    RW   x   WW

RW   RW   WW   WW

RW = roan = 50%

WW = white = 50%

1/2 or 50% of the offspring would be roan color while the remaining 1/2 or 50% would be white in color.
