Question

will you be able to trace the father of the calves?what are the possible phenotypes of the calves for each cow?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes it is possible to trace the father of the calves, we can know the gene of interest from taking the gene from the calve and undergoing it DNA matching technique the son will always have a X and Y chromosomes thus the Y chromosomes is always given by the father and the X is mainly by the mother.

This basis is known as the sex-linked inheritance or the father to daughter and mother  to son rule. So, the we can trace the father through the Y chromosome. The possible phenotype for each cow will be XX or the required genes after knowing the parental gene and then applying in punnet square the phenotype's will generally be pure red calves, roan calves and half breed red-roan calves.
