Answer Posted / Sachin Tyagi
Both parents are heterozygous for dilution (Dd), so all offspring will have one copy of the dilution gene (either D or d). The coat color genes are independent of the dilution gene, so each offspring will have a 1/2 chance of inheriting the chestnut gene from either parent. Therefore, half of the offspring will be palimino (chestnut with stripes) and the other half will be non-palimino (either bay or liver).
