Dominant-Recessive Phenotype: Dairy Calf (Black & White)

The Dominant genes are the genes that get passed down to the offspring and can be seen through visual appearance. The Recessive genes are the ones that get passed down but are barely seen or unseen at all because the Dominant genes are overpowering. In my Dairy Calf named Simon, the phenotype of the Black and White got passed down as the Dominant gene. In the sun, you are able to see a reddish tinge in his hair, which tells us that in his family tree, the red was recessive gene. It got passed down to him but the Black and White Dominate Phenotype overpowered it, which is why he looks the way he does.
