Answer:

The correct answer is -3/16

Explanation:

The cross between BBss and bbSS In cocker spaniels will form gametes that are - Bs and bS. As it is given that  black coat color ( B) is dominant over red ( b), and solid color ( S) is dominant over spotted ( s) then f1 gen would be :

      Bs      Bs

bS BbSs  BbSs

bS  BbSs  BbSs

Now F2 generation;

       BS        Bs        bS        bs

BS   BBSS   BBSs   BbSS   BbSs

Bs   BBSs    BBss   BbSs   Bbss

bS   BbSS   BbSs   bbSS    bbSs

bs   BbSs   Bbss   bbSs     bbss

Here black-spotted that is possible only in two cases, BBss or Bbss, are 3/16
