Answer:

d. 3/8

Explanation:

Black coat color (B) is dominant over red coat color (b) and solid color (S) is dominant over spotted color (b).

BbSs was crossed with Bbss

BbSs   x   Bbss

Offspring:

2 BBSs black, solid

2 BBss black, spotted

4 BbSs black solid

4 Bbss black, spotted

2 bbSs red, solid

2 bbss red spotted

Total black solid = 6

Hence, the chance that black solid individual would be produced = 6/16 = 3/8.
