palomino horses are golden in color. Horse breeders have found that these
horses do not breed true (offspring are not always palomino). One horse breeder kept
records of the types of offspring produced when breeding palominos. The types of
offspring were as follows:
65 Palomino, 32 cream-colored, 34 chestnut (reddish brown)

What is the probable mode of inheritance of palomino coloration?

A Palomino bred to Palomino it gives:
25% Cremello
50% Palomino

Palomino bred to chestnut:
Never gives cremello
50% Palomino

Cremello bred to chestnut:
100% Palomino

And sometimes a ideal chestnut for Palomino production is the red cherry red with flaxen mane & tail.
