1. Frame overo horses have white patches on their coats and are at risk of lethal white syndrome if both parents carry the frame overo gene. This results in no pigment in the colon, causing complications.
2. Mendel's experiments with pea plants found that hybrids expressed traits of one parent (dominance) and traits separated and recombined independently in offspring (independent assortment). He demonstrated dominance of round yellow seeds over wrinkled green through monohybrid crosses.
3. Applying Mendel's principles, probability and genetics can be modeled through Punnett squares. A cross of heterozygous parents for a dominant trait will produce offspring in a 1:2:1 ratio of hom
