Horses have three basic coat colors: red (or chestnut), bay, and black. All the colors are controlled by the interaction of two genes, Extension (E) and Agouti (A). The following combinations produce bay color: EE/Aa, Ee/Aa, EE/AA, Ee/AA. Only two produce black color: EE/aa, Ea/aa. Other combinations of the alleles of these genes plus mutations of others result in many possible coat colors and patterns in horses

Coat color in horses is an example of which type of inheritance?

(1 point)

A. polygenic inheritance

B. dominant inheritance

C. Mendelian inheritance

D. recessive inheritance

When the qualities or the attributes are passed from the parent to their progeny is called inheritance. It can be passed either sexually or asexually.

The correct answer is:

Option A. Polygenic inheritance

This can be explained as:

When a trait is regulated by two or more genes is called polygenic inheritance.

Dominant inheritance occurs when the qualities from the parent possessing the dominant gene pass to the progeny.

According to Mendelian inheritance paired genes assorts independently and are passed from parent to their progenies.

Therefore, coat colour in horses is an example of polygenic inheritance.
