Imagine that horn color in Hodags (folkloric creatures of Wisconsin) is controlled by a single gene so that when you mate a Hodag homozygous for bright orange horns (COCO) with a Hodag homozygous for ivory horns (CICI), numerous offspring are produced, all with pale orange horns. Now consider that you cross an orange-horned Hodag with an ivory-horned Hodag and get an F1.

A. 9 bright orange: 6 pale orange: 1 ivory B. 1 bright orange: 2 pale orange: 1 ivory C. 3 bright orange: 1 ivory D. 1COCO: 2COCI: 1CICI E. 3COCO: 1CICI Clarify Question
