Learning Target:
To understand the different Patterns of Inheritance.

General Direction: Give the answers asked on the space/s provided for.

Situation: Mang Marcelino owns purebred red cows. In his farm he noticed that after a typhoon several months ago,
all of the fences that separated his cattle from those of his neighbors were destroyed. During the time that the fences
were down, three bulls, one from each of his three neighbors, mingled with his cows. For awhile, he thought that none
of the bulls found his cows, but over the months, he noticed his cows were pregnant. He suspected one of the bulls as
the father. Which is it? Help Mang Marcelino by solving the given problem.

1. Determine the possible traits of the calves if:

a. A red (RR) bull is mated with a red (RR) cow1.
