In cattle black coat is dominant to white coat color a farmer has a black male of undetermined genotype how can the farmer determine the genotype of the male?

One way to determine the male's genotype would be to breed him to females with a known genotype of Black-Black. If any resultant calves were born with a white coat, you would then know that the male were Black-White. If calves were consistently black coated, you could be fairly certain he was also of the Black-Black genotype.

What is an observable trait of an organism that can mask a recessive trait?
The observable characteristic are called the genotype and any dominant trait can mask the recessive. An example would be Black Angus cattle can actually carry a red recessive trait because black is the dominant trait in cattle breeding
What is the difference between genotype and phenotype and give examples?
A genotype is the actual genetic coding for an organism A phenotype is the physical appearance For example, let's say BB or Bb is the coding for black hair. BB/Bb is the genotype, and the black hair is the phenotype
According to the rule of dominance if two different alleles are present is the dominant allele expressed?
the dominant allele is expressed when two (assuming you mean dominant and recessive) alleles are present. however, if the alleles are codominant they are both expressed.
Pattern of inheritance in which both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism?
The pattern of inheritance in which both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism is codominance. For example white and red hair color in cattle. Black and white feather color in certain chickens.
Why doesn't commensalism exist in nature?
Commensalism does exist in nature. It means a relationship between two organisms where one benefits and the other is not affected. An example is the cattle egret and cattle. The egrets live near the cattle and benefit by eating the insects stirred up by the cattle's hooves. The cattle are not affected.

What is example of a genotype?
There are genotypes and phenotypes discussed in genetics.Genotypes include both recessive and dominant genes, and is the genetic makeup of the organism.Phenotypes are only the traits that are observed in an organism, i.e. double-recessive, or dominant genes.If you looked at horned/polled(no horns) cattle. The polled gene is dominant, the horned gene is recessive.A cow with horns would be expressing the horned phenotype. It would also have the double-polled genotype since it is a recessive gene.A cow without horns would be expressing the polled phenotype. However, it could have either 2 polled genes for the genotype, or it could have 1 polled gene and 1 horned gene for the genotype.
Where are Ranching and cattle dominant in?
The plains
If Mendel had performed experiments on cattle rather than on peas the patterns of inheritance would not have been easily detectable because cattle?
Cattle would have been difficult to experiment on due in part to the necessity to determine what the genotype of the initial cattle were in the first place. It would also have been exceedingly difficult due to the length of time to produce a new generation and the lack of ability to produce numerous samples.

How selective breeding using dominant principle can positively affect Belgian Blue Cow?
It depends on what trait is being selected for. Whatever that trait is, it has to be a trait that will improve the BB breed, not unimprove it. How that works is that purebred cattle are selected for a dominant desirable trait and bred together to produce more cattle with that trait. Any other cattle that have the recessive undesirable trait are culled.
What is Colorado's dominant industry?
Colorado's dominant industries are agriculture including wheat, cattle, and sheep, tourism (especially skiers), mining (gold, silver), oil, finance, and manufacturing. Colorado has many ranches and ranchers as well.
According to the rule of dominance if two different alleles are present is the dominant allele expressed?
the dominant allele is expressed when two (assuming you mean dominant and recessive) alleles are present. however, if the alleles are codominant they are both expressed.
Are senepol cattle horned or polled?
Polled. The dominant polled characteristics come from the Red Poll breed that is infused into this breed to make it the Senepol breed.
Cattle with both white hair and red hair are?
Mendel's principle of dominant and recessive alleles doe not explain why the heterozygous chickens have both red and white hair
Pattern of inheritance in which both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism?
The pattern of inheritance in which both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism is codominance. For example white and red hair color in cattle. Black and white feather color in certain chickens.
What are body condition scores in cattle?
It is a means of measuring the amount of fat that cattle are carrying to determine health, fertility, and feed efficiency of that animal. BCS's are mainly performed in cows and heifers, but it's not uncommon to do a BCS on a bull either.
