Jordan Freeman · Answer 1

The possible genotypes are WW or Ww.

Janelle Russell · Answer 2

Answer: either WW (homozygous dominant) or Ww (homozygous dominant)

Explanation:

If Solid coat is dominant (W) then there are two options. It's dominant so any genotype with (W) will have the phenotype of Solid coat, or no spots.
