In horses, black coat color is influenced by the dominant allele (B), and chestnut coat color by the recessive allele (b)

Trotting gait is due to a dominant gene (T), pacing gait to the recessive allele (t). Give the genotype and phenotype of the horse you would use in a testcross to determine the genotype of a black trotter.
